DTEK Energy Holding plans to build Ukraine’s largest wind farm

DTEK Energy Holding plans to build Ukraine’s largest wind farm, Tylihulska with a 500 MW capacity, in southern Mykolaiv’s Berezanka district. With 130 turbines spaced 1.5 km apart, the project would occupy 35,000 hectares and require 250 km of high voltage above ground and buried cables. Taking advantage of winds blowing up the Tylihul Estuary, DTEK plans to also build Tylihulska 2, a 65 MW plant. Currently, Europe’s largest onshore wind farm is across the Black Sea in Romania: the 600 MW Fântânele-Cogealac project. Next year, Norway is to commission Fosen Vind, a complex of six onshore wind farms with a total capacity of 1 gigawatt.
