Figures from the Solar Energy Association of Ukraine (SEAU) earlier this year showed that the country added around 850MW of solar PV capacity in 2024, the majority of which came from self-consumption systems installed by businesses. It's “become a trend”, Semenyshyn says.
The IEA has proposed three potential policies to increase the deployment of distributed solar and BESS in Ukraine. The agency's latest report says distributed solar has played a key role in restoring and adding energy capacity in Ukraine since Russia's invasion, which has repeatedly targeted energy infrastructure.
“Solar power plants can help Ukrainian society,” Sokolovskyi says, by giving energy independence to private citizens and businesses. Moreover, support for critical infrastructure like hospitals, clinics and schools – the kind of work Semenyshyn's Repower Ukraine does – often comes from PV and energy storage combined.
Estimates from the agency add that Ukraine needs to deploy around 24 GW of distributed PV before the end of 2030, alongside 5.6 GWh of BESS, to create a more decentralized and secure power system and achieve objectives featured in its national energy and climate plan. As of 2024, the country had around 7 GW of distributed solar.
The new power plant will combine: Installed PV capacity: 22,35 MW Inverter capacity: 16 MW Energy storage system (BESS): 44 MWh The station''s integrated BESS ensures high operational flexibility
