The Government of Ukraine has announced that it will partner with the German company Notus Energy to develop a 1 GW onshore wind project, which will be located within the exclusion zone around the Chernobyl nuclear power plant (northern Ukraine).
The Ukrainian Ministry of Environmental Protection and Natural Resources, the power transmission system operator Ukrenergo and Notus Energy have signed a memorandum of cooperation for the project, which is expected to generate enough electricity for 800,000 households. The project will help Ukraine in its plan to transform the Chernobyl area into a recovery zone. A 1 MW solar plant, commissioned in 2018, has already been built in the Chernobyl exclusion zone.
As of end-2022, wind power represented about 3% of Ukraine’s installed capacity with more than 1.5 GW, and 2% of its power generation with 2.5 TWh.
