Octopus Energy and DTEK have formed a joint venture called Project RISE to invest €100 million in building rooftop solar and battery storage in Ukraine. This initiative aims to help Ukrainian businesses and public sector organizations generate and store electricity onsite, reducing the impact of power outages caused by Russian attacks on energy infrastructure. The partnership showcases a decentralized green energy system as a resilient solution against infrastructure attacks, with the goal of securing long-term financing for the project through negotiations with financial institutions. Octopus Energy's CEO, Greg Jackson, emphasizes the importance of distributed solar and batteries in building a secure future for Ukraine's energy system. The joint venture will provide equipment at no upfront cost, with financing from banks, investors, grants, and guarantees, aligning with Rinat Akhmetov's commitment to Ukraine's recovery and sustainable development.
