“They are Ukrainian companies, Turkish companies, and German
investors. The approximate launch dates for some of them are 2025 and 2027,” he
said.
Despite the ongoing war, the new projects are emerging
alongside those launched before the full-scale Russian invasion.
DTEK, the country’s largest private energy holding, plans to
start the construction of a 650 MW wind farm in Poltava in 2025. DTEK Renewables
has already obtained the necessary technical conditions for connecting the wind
farm to the Ukrainian power grid and is in negotiations for land plots where
five 330 kV substations and wind turbines will be located.
Currently, the most powerful wind farm in Ukraine is
Botiivska (200 MW), also owned by DTEK, but it is located in the
Russian-occupied part of Zaporizhzhya Oblast.
Other projects include a 300 MW wind farm in Odesa Oblast by
the German company Notus Energy and a 150 MW wind farm by Concern Galnaftogaz
with IFC support.
Businessman Rinat Akhmetov’s DTEK Group and Vestas, a leading wind turbine manufacturer, have signed a memorandum to complete the construction of Eastern Europe’s largest wind farm, the Tiligul in Mykolaiv Oblast. The first stage of the project was launched in May 2023.
