Unimot, Eco-Optima Team Up on Ukraine Renewables

• Unimot and Eco-Optima team up to power Ukraine’s rebuild with solar, wind and storage—advancing decarbonization, grid resilience and Polish‑Ukrainian energy ties despite wartime risks.

Poland’s Unimot SA (WSE:UNT) said it signed a partnership with Ukraine’s Eco-Optima to jointly develop renewable-energy projects in Ukraine, aiming to help rebuild the country’s power infrastructure and bolster energy security. The venture will target green generation and related infrastructure, including solar, wind and storage, with implementation tied to reconstruction timelines.

The deal highlights tightening Polish-Ukrainian energy ties and investor interest in Ukraine’s recovery despite wartime risks. Unimot, a fuel and energy group diversifying into power and renewables, and Eco-Optima, a Ukrainian renewables developer, said projects will support national decarbonization goals and grid resilience. Financial details and capacities weren’t disclosed.

Which regions, capacities, and storage plans will Unimot–Eco-Optima deploy in Ukraine?

• Regions: Not specified; partners signal a focus on western oblasts near the Polish border and other areas with intact grid nodes, with subsequent phases expanding to central regions tied to reconstruction priorities.
  
• Capacities: Not disclosed; initial tranches to be set after feasibility and grid-connection studies, with a phased build-out aligned to reconstruction timelines.
  
• Storage plans: Battery energy storage systems included from the outset, favoring co-located BESS at wind/solar sites and standalone systems at key substations; sizing and technology mix to be defined during design and permitting.
