China Machinery Engineering Corporation and DTEK, Ukraine’s largest private energy company, broke ground Thursday on a 200 MW, $265 million solar farm near Nikopol, Dnipropetrovsk region. Speaking to Xinhua at the 400-hectare site, Maksym Timchenko, chairman of the DTEK, said: “This would be the largest solar power station not only in Ukraine, but also at the European scale.” When completed, six months from now, the Nikopol plant would be Europe’s second largest, after France’s Cestas 300 MW solar station. Financed by DTEK and by China Machinery, the plant will use equipment from three Chinese companies — Seraphim Solar System and Trina Solar will provide 750,000 solar panels, and Shenzhen Kstar Science and Technology will supply 80 inverter stations.
