DTEK Renewables CEO Philipp Leckebusch said: “With this partnership, we expect to achieve remarkable synergies by combining both companies’ expertise.

“According to the energy strategy of Ukraine, the share of renewable energy in the final energy consumption should increase to 11% by 2020 and 25% by the year 2035. Big infrastructural projects like Pokrovskaya SPP constitute a significant milestone to achieve these targets.”

The project will be fully equipped with Risen Energy’s 72-cell 370W high-efficiency PERC monocrystalline modules, which will have enough energy generation capacity to power more than 200,000 Ukraine homes.

“Big infrastructural projects like Pokrovskaya SPP comprise a significant milestone to achieve Ukraine’s renewable energy targets.”

The new solar facility is reported to be one of the largest solar power stations in the country. It is expected to help Ukraine in achieving its energy targets, as well as create significant economic and social benefits for the region.
