DEVELOPMENT OF LOCAL RES PROJECTS

  • The Ministry of Communities and Territories Development of Ukraine and the Ministry of Energy have approved energy independence passports for each region of Ukraine. This is an important step towards the effective development of distributed generation, including gas generation, which will strengthen energy sustainability in all regions. The relevant Order “On Approval of the List of Regional Energy Sustainability Passports” No. 496/1502 was signed on December 31, 2024. The document results from joint work by the Ministry of Community and Territorial Development, the Ministry of Energy, regional and local administrations, and energy companies.

The relevant Order “On Approval of the List of Regional Energy Sustainability Passports” No. 496/1502 was signed on December 31, 2024. The document results from joint work by the Ministry of Community and Territorial Development, the Ministry of Energy, regional and local administrations, and energy companies.

The Energy Passport of a region is a comprehensive assessment of the potential for distributed generation development in each individual region. The document allows regional administrations to develop detailed action plans, including those for distributed generation development, considering each territory’s specifics.

  • In August 2024, public tests of an autonomous solar and wind power plant developed as part of a Slovak-Ukrainian project took place in Zakarpattia. This mini-renewable energy plant’s innovation lies in its ability to operate anywhere with sufficient wind and sun and supply the electricity generated directly to electric vehicles and other consumers. 
  • Currently, municipal projects are being implemented in Ukraine, such as schools, outpatient clinics, hospitals, and kindergartens, which can now fully or partially meet their needs with renewable energy sources. For example, the outpatient clinic in Horenka, destroyed during the Russian offensive in Kyiv Oblast, has been meeting half of its needs for almost two years now with renewable energy. In partnership with other organizations, Greenpeace Ukraine installed a heat pump that saved 43% on heating costs in the first year of operation and a solar power plant that covered 55% of the outpatient clinic’s electricity consumption.
  • In Kryvyi Rih, solar panels with a capacity of 40 kW were installed on the roof of a kindergarten, which will help save up to 40% of electricity costs. Five similar projects have already been implemented in the city, and seven more are in the pipeline.
  • An energy “island” is being created in the Teofipol community in Khmelnytskyi Oblast. The community has a biogas complex that produces five times more electricity than the entire community, which has 55 settlements and 25,000 residents and consumes.
  • A project to analyse the energy-efficient reconstruction of the residential sector in Bucha. As a result, the city received an analytical report estimating the costs of green renovation in a better and more sustainable way. In addition, Ecodia will update Bucha’s Sustainable Energy and Climate Action Plan and develop a feasibility study for the installation of a solar power plant on the roof of the local council.
  • The project ‘Restoration of street lighting in Ivanivka village, Novoukrayinsky district, Kirovograd region, using autonomous power sources based on modern photovoltaic batteries’ is planned to design, test and install at least 53 autonomous solar lights. The project is relevant because the village has no street lighting cable network, and therefore, there is an urgent need to reconstruct the existing power lines, as well as a fundamentally new approach to creating new autonomous lighting facilities using solar panels.
  • The Dubove community in Zakarpattia is a project that involves the implementation of a local renewable energy network. The community owns 26 public sector facilities. All buildings require energy efficiency measures. The community has long been working to ensure that local communal facilities have renewable energy sources. One of these sources will be a 10 kW hybrid solar power plant (hereinafter referred to as SPP) installed on the roof of the village.
