Ukraine commissions 114 MW wind power plant
22/3/2023
The first phase of DTEK’s Tyligulska wind power plant in Ukraine is nearing completion after construction was previously halted because of the Russian invasion.
The first phase of the plant, in the Mykolaiv region in southern Ukraine, will generate 114 MW of electricity. The plant’s total capacity will be 500 MW when completed.
Maxim Timchenko, Chief Executive Officer, DTEK, says: ‘Despite all the challenges of this year of war, DTEK has constructed an additional 114 MW of green power generation for Ukraine. It has been a difficult task, but thanks to the high levels of professionalism and bravery of the company’s employees, the new wind farm with 19 turbines will start operating this spring.’
The plant is a step towards achieving the government’s ambition of 30 GW of installed renewable energy capacity in Ukraine by 2030. Ukraine’s current installed renewable energy capacity, including the temporarily occupied facilities in the south of the country, is about 10 GW. An increase in green power generation to 30 GW would mean renewables make up 50% of Ukraine’s power generation.
