The Ukrainian government is launching a pilot project of € 2 million ($ 2.3 million) with the municipality of Grafenwörth, Austria, to expand the solar infrastructure and to improve the local energy benefit.
The Ministry of Energy Van Ukraine has launched a pilot of € 2 million ‘Twin Cities’, together with Hlobyne, Ukraine, with Grafenwörth, Austria, to install solar panels and to strengthen the energy removal of the community.
The initiative, unveiled by the Ukrainian Minister of Energy German Galushchenko at the third international top of cities and regions, includes an investment atlas with more than 150 regional energy projects to attract international investments.
“We are grateful to our international partners for their consistent support in reinforcing the energy benefit of the regions of Ukraine,” said Galushchenko.
In 2024, the Ministry introduced regional passports for the resilience of the energy to emphasize the energy potential of each region and to support balanced development in various energy sources.
Galushchenko said that the decentralized generation will be crucial for complying with local needs, especially in the midst of current Russian attacks on the energy infrastructure of Ukraine, including 13 large rocket and drone raids in 2024, which cost Russia an estimated € 1,3 billion.
“Local generation To meet the critical needs of each region, is an essential part of the resilience of energy treatment, both for individual communities and for the country as a whole,” said Galushchenko, and noted that the willingness of Ukraine cooperated with worldwide partners on distributed alerts.
In March, Norway announced $ 5.5 million in financing for 13 solar installations in hospitals and schools in Kharkiv, Ukraine. The projects will add 1.1 MW of solar capacity and 2.3 MWh of energy storage to support critical infrastructure in the war torn out by war.
In 2024, Ukraine installed between 800 MW and 850 MW of solar capacity, according to industry estimates. Business and residential installations caused growth, helped by tax and input implementation for solar equipment that was introduced in mid-2024.
