Could solar power be the backbone of Ukraine's energy system?

The war against Ukraine has led to massive destruction of the energy infrastructure. One consequence of this is blackouts in cities. In the future, renewables such as wind and solar power could form the backbone of Ukraine’s electricity system. (Image: Oleksii Maznychenko / Adobe Stock)

Large-scale renewables have suffered too. The Ministry of Energy states that 30 per cent of solar and 90 per cent of wind plants have been disabled or occupied. But Ukraine’s power system perseveres. Yesterday (23 February), the ministry reported that it sent surplus electricity to Poland, as a result of excess power generated by solar plants.

Could renewables be the backbone of Ukraine's electricity system?

In the future, renewables such as wind and solar power could form the backbone of Ukraine’s electricity system. (Image: Oleksii Maznychenko / Adobe Stock) In their study, the researchers explain why renewables should take centre stage in the reconstruction of the Ukrainian electricity system.

What is Ukraine doing with solar energy?

Ukraine’s Solar Association is also working to provide solar and storage systems to hospitals, particularly in cities that were once under Russian occupation. Green groups like Ecoclub, an NGO based in western Ukraine, have also been involved in that effort.
