Ukraine's DTEK resumes work with wind project, restores solar park

• Ukrainian power group DTEK has restored the operation of a 10-MW solar park in Kherson as well as resumed the building service a wind project, president Maxim Timchenko stated on Friday.

Throughout an instruction, Timchenko stated that DTEK is "taking every chance to install wind turbines to increase electrical energy generation for the country". More details about the project were not revealed.

On the other hand, the Trifanivska solar energy plant is once again producing electricity after the region was recaptured by the Ukrainian military. The solar park, which browsed the web in 2017, stopped procedure after coming under Russian occupation. Its power generation tools was drastically damaged as it was shelled by the Russian forces and a few of its panels were stolen, DTEK claimed in an earlier statement.

Since the Russian forces were driven back, the solar farm has actually been slowly resuming procedure and the repair service procedures are continuous. At the start of February, two-thirds of the inverters at the park were already working and also DTEK Renewables remained in talks with local transmission company Khersonoblenergo on the repair service of the substation in order to elevate the electrical power fed right into the power grid.

In the briefing on Friday, Timchenko once more revealed support for the concept to boost Ukraine's renewable energy capacity to 30 GW by 2030 with the help of equity warranties by EU governments and also international financial institutions. This would be equal to a 50% renewables share in Ukraine's capacity mix and would certainly allow 15 GW of clean energy exports to the EU in the form of power and green hydrogen.
