- DTEK Group plans to complete the Tyligulska wind power plant, to reach 500 MW capacity.
- 19 wind turbines will generate electricity to support Ukraine’s energy balance this year.
The DTEK Group is completing the construction of the first phase of the Tyligulska wind power plant, with a capacity of 114 MW out of the total declared 500 MW. In spring 2023, 19 wind turbines will start generating electricity to support Ukraine’s energy balance. The implementation of the project in the Mykolaiv region in southern Ukraine is another step towards achieving the ambition of the “30 to 2030” initiative, with the aim of 30 GW of installed renewable energy capacity in Ukraine by 2030.
The DTEK Group plans to complete the Tyligulska wind power plant to reach its full design capacity of 500 MW. The company is seeking options for further project implementation, including negotiations with international donors and partners.
Maxim Timchenko, CEO of DTEK, said, “Despite all the challenges of this year of war, DTEK has constructed an additional 114 MW of green power generation for Ukraine. It has been a difficult task, but thanks to the high professionalism and bravery of the company’s employees, the new wind farm with 19 turbines will start operating this spring.
Ukraine’s current installed renewable energy capacity, including the temporarily occupied facilities in the country’s south, is about 10 GW. An increase in green power generation to 30 GW would mean renewables make up 50% of Ukraine’s power generation.
