On 27 April as part of Energy Storage Day 2026, the official signing of the Memorandum of Partnership and Cooperation took place between the Ukrainian Wind Energy Association and the National Technical University “Dnipro Polytechnic”. Renewable energy in Ukraine is developing even under wartime conditions. Projects are being implemented, capacities are growing, and along with them, the need for specialists. Universities play a key role here, and it is important to us that there is no gap between education and the real sector.
“The industry is growing, and with it grows the need for specialists who know wind energy from the inside out. We want Ukrainian universities to be a part of this process – not standing on the sidelines, but right in the center. The partnership with Dnipro Polytechnic is exactly about this,” emphasized Andriy Konechenkov, Chairman of the UWEA Board.
The Memorandum outlines the main areas of interaction: the joint development of educational programs in wind energy, conducting lectures and practical classes with the participation of industry experts, and promoting student involvement in RES projects. Among other initiatives, it includes popularizing wind energy among the youth and organizing study visits to active industry facilities.
“Ukraine's modern energy system is developing extremely dynamically, and the role of universities in training appropriate specialists is becoming increasingly decisive. Solving the real technical and business tasks of the industry is possible only in close cooperation between the university community and leading employers. That is why the partnership with the Ukrainian Wind Energy Association is an important step towards new approaches in training competent personnel for the electric power industry,” noted Oleksandr Aziukovskyi, Rector of Dnipro Polytechnic.
We thank the university for its cooperation and willingness to move forward alongside the industry. There is a lot of joint work ahead.
