In this way, the company has reached one of its strategic goals – to put 1 GW of renewable energy in operation by 2020, company reports.

“Two years ago, DTEK officially announced its strategic goal – to build 1 GW of the renewable energy in operation by the end of 2019. Today we have reached this goal. We have invested more than 1 billion euros in the renewable energy sector of Ukraine; and we have created the unique expertise that allowed us to implement these large-scale and innovative projects, – says Maxim Timchenko, DTEK CEO. – We are confident that Ukraine can become the leader of decarbonization in Europe, providing our country with the homegrown clean energy. And we encourage all stakeholders to unite around this idea.“

Overall, in 2019, DTEK RENEWABLES launched green energy projects with a total capacity of 740 MW: the Nikopolska SPP (200 AC/240 DC MW), the Pokrovska SPP (240 AC/323 DC MW), the Prymorska WPP (200 MW), and the Orlivska WPP (100 MW). DTEK RENEWABLES projects that were implemented previously are – the Botievska WPP (200 MW) and the Tryfanovska SPP (10 MW). The plants in operation will generate almost 2.5 billion kWh of the renewable energy, and help reduce CO2 emissions by 2.6 million tons per year.
