  • A 650-Megawatt Wind Farm Is Rising In Ukraine, Putin Or No Putin

    Ukraine's leading energy provider, DTEK Group, is expanding its wind energy profile with a new 650-megawatt project supported by a grant from the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation. The move towards wind energy is driven by the resiliency of wind farms during wartime, as demonstrated by the Tyligulska Wind Power Plant near the Black Sea. DTEK is positioning its renewable energy ventures as key to Ukraine's energy resilience and European integration, with plans for further expansion in the future. Norway is providing aid to Ukraine for the Poltavska renewable energy project, which aims to decentralize the country's energy system and integrate with EU standards. Western Ukraine has ideal conditions for the production of green hydrogen due to its wind and PV resources, water availability, and access to gas infrastructure, with plans to export to European markets and partner with Austria for investment and production capacity.
