4 FAQs about The prospects of solar power generation and energy storage in Ukraine

Can solar power plants help Ukrainian society?

“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.

How much solar power does Ukraine have in 2024?

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.

How much solar does Ukraine need?

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.

How many solar power plants have been taken out of operation in Ukraine?

According to the Minister of Energy of Ukraine Galushchenko, approximately half of the solar power plants have been taken out of operation (Ukrinform, 2022). Recovery of the energy infrastructure is critically important for restoring prosperity and development to the country.
