Artem Nekrasov, the Head of the state-owned enterprise Guaranteed Buyer, stated that: “More than 30 new wind generation projects are currently being built in Ukraine. Among the investors are Ukrainian, Turkish, and German companies. Estimated dates for the launch of some of them are 2025 and 2027.”
According to him, most of these projects began before the start of the war; however, despite the war, new projects are also being developed. In particular, Ukraine’s private energy holding, DTEK, plans to start constructing a wind power plant in Poltava with a capacity of 650 MW in 2025. DTEK Renewables has already received the technical requirements for connecting the wind farm to Ukraine’s energy system. The company is negotiating with the landowners where five 330 kV substations and wind turbines will be located.
One of Ukraine’s largest wind farms is the 200 MW Botiivska plant, which belongs to DTEK and is located in the Zaporizhzhia region, currently occupied by the Russian Federation.
