The future of photovoltaic and wind energy in Ukraine

For over three years, Ukraine has been subjected to near-daily missile attacks. Major energy infrastructure, including power grids and power plants, has been frequently damaged, and unstable power supply has become a primary challenge affecting production, daily life, and public services.

However, even in this environment, Ukraine remains steadfast in its clean energy transition—not only to combat climate change, but also to rebuild a more secure and independent energy system.

Photovoltaic and Wind Power: Ukraine's Natural Advantages

Ukraine boasts abundant solar and wind resources, particularly in the south and southeast, where the average annual sunshine hours and wind speeds are sufficient to support large-scale renewable energy deployment.

Currently, 17% of Ukraine's electricity comes from renewable energy, providing critical power for hospitals, schools, and businesses. Solar and wind projects not only maintain partial power supply in the face of damage but also provide long-term momentum for post-war economic recovery.

Energy Storage—Making Clean Energy More Stable

But renewable energy has a built-in disadvantage: volatility. Photovoltaic electricity is subject to sunlight, and wind power to wind speed. This is the source of power shortages during night, or low winds, or poor weather. This is where energy storage systems fit in:

Peak shaving: Storage of photovoltaic energy during the day and its release round the clock at night.

Off-grid functionality: Critical centers can maintain independent power supply even in the case of grid destruction.

Regulation of frequency and voltage: Stable grid connection and reduction of fluctuations.

In exceptional circumstances like Ukraine, industrial-grade energy storage containers or commercial energy storage systems can make distributed photovoltaic and wind power literally "ready to use."

Driven by international cooperation and investment

Solar, wind, and energy storage are being implemented under the Ukrainian-German Energy Partnership, the EU reconstruction fund of €50 billion, and financial support from international financial institutions such as EBRD and IFC.

Example:

The further extension of the Tyligulska wind farm will bring total installed capacity to 4GW.

European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, in conjunction with Goldbeck Solar, intends to install 500MW of photovoltaic capacity by 2028.

The Resilient Independent Solar installs rooftop photovoltaic systems and batteries on schools and hospitals.

These projects are decentralized, attack-resilient, and fast to deploy. With energy storage technology, a huge step would be taken forward to augmenting the resilience of the system.

Market Opportunity: A Golden Window for Energy Storage Equipment

For European and global clean energy companies, Ukraine is a fresh market that has taken off after the war:

Energy security is an essential imperative: Survival, not subsidies, fuels demand for renewable energy and energy storage.

Policy and Financing Support: International agencies, the European Union, and private capital are actively engaged.

Demonstration Effect: First to rebuild with clean energy will be a global model.

Companies entering this market now are not only in a position to establish long-term partnerships but have more influence in Europe and the surrounding regions.
