No wind power project can be successfully implemented without the construction of the appropriate infrastructure and its further maintenance, which is an integral part of any wind power project and directly linked to the operation of the wind farm as a whole. Wind farm infrastructure includes, inter alia, the external and internal electrical networks, overhead power lines, substations and/or transformers, underground cables etc. Specialized service and design companies are responsible for the construction (installation) and maintenance of such energy infrastructure facilities.
Ukrainian Wind Energy Association (the UWEA) is pleased to announce its third webinar in the 2021 series focusing on both theoretical and practical aspects of national wind power development.
On July 20, 2021, the UWEA will host a webinar “Construction & Maintenance of Wind Farm Infrastructure” which combines the relevant knowledge and experience of such UWEA’s Member Companies as EDS, LLC “Communication and construction company” and Electroservice-Yug LLC.
The one-hour webinar will answer the following questions:
1. What is the experience of companies at all stages of design and construction of power facilities and electrical networks? How important is the role of modern technology and an integrated approach to the success of the project?
2. What are the features of installation, maintenance and reconstruction of electrical networks and substations?
3. How to minimize the number of reconstructions of electrical networks and substations?
4. What is the level of procurement and operation of equipment of domestic and foreign production?
5. What are the features of commercial and technical electricity metering systems?
6. What is the role of service personnel in performing various design and service activities?
The speakers of the webinar are high-class design and construction professionals for both power generation and distribution companies:
1. Oleksiy Zorin, Project Manager, EDS Ukraine
2. Vadym Lievienberg, CEO, LLC “Communication and construction company”
3. Andriy Chuhayev, Technical director, Electroservice-Yug LLC
Andriy Konechenkov, Chairman of the UWEA Board and Vice President of the WWEA will moderate the discussion.
The participation in the UWEA’s webinar “Construction & Maintenance of Wind Farm Infrastructure” will provide an opportunity not only to get acquainted with the full range of services of the UWEA’s Member Companies, but also to choose a high-qualified service company that is especially suitable for your wind power project.
The working language of the webinar – Ukrainian.

With every passing year, wind energy becomes increasingly used to meet the growing demand for reliable and environmentally friendly energy sources. In the world that is actively implementing the “green” energy transition, wind energy is considered the safest and most environmentally friendly renewable energy source (RES). In addition, it has proved to be the most resilient in the post-COVID-19 reality and new living environment. The global installed wind capacity reached 32,500 MW in late 2020. Today, 162 offshore wind farms, powered by ocean and sea energy, already generate “green” electricity worldwide, while а total of 10 000 MW capacities (26 offshore WPPs) is being build globally.
Both Ukraine and Turkey are those countries of the Black Sea region that have considerable natural and technical potential for developing offshore wind projects, which will scale up the benefits of wind energy technology, and renewable energy in general.
According to the World Bank, the technical potential of offshore wind power in the Black Sea basin reaches 435 GW, half of which accounts for Ukraine’s maritime territory. The report also indicates that 70 GW offshore wind power potential of 13 GW fixed; 57 GW floating is feasible in Turkish maritime territory.
The technical potential of offshore wind power in shallow areas of the Ukrainian waters seems as no less promising and reaches 250 GW, which, in turn, could stimulate the launching of “green” hydrogen industry in Ukraine. However, both these markets require significant amendments to the current legislation as well as the adoption of new one.
Symbolically, on Global Wind Day, June 15, 2021, the Ukrainian Wind Energy Association and the Turkish Offshore Wind Energy Association, hold a joint international webinar “Offshore Wind Farms in the Black Sea: Turkey and Ukraine”. Leading experts from Turkey and Ukraine will reveal the full range of maritime potential of their countries, necessary for the deployment of offshore wind capacities. Mr. Andriy Konechenkov, the Chairman of the Board of Ukrainian Wind Energy Association, and Dr. Murat Durak, Chairman of Turkish Offshore Wind Energy Association will open the webinar. Our information partner – GetMarket, Platform for renewable energy investments.
Within the two parts of the webinar, the speakers will cover a wide range of thematic issues:
1. Offshore wind potential in Turkey
Bilgihan Yaşacan, (Member of the Board, Turkish Offshore Wind Energy Association)
Ahmet Paksu, (Deputy Chairman, Turkish Offshore Wind Energy Association)
Ersin Şekerci, (Deputy Chairman, Turkish Offshore Wind Energy Association)
Mark Leybourne, (Senior Energy Specialist Offshore Wind at The World Bank)
2. Offshore wind potential in Ukraine
Kateryna Knysh, (Head of analytical department of the Ukrainian Wind Energy Association)
Marta Halabala, (Senior Associate, Asters Law Firm)
Maxim Ganzha (Offshore wind farm project manager, Naftogaz-Vuglesyntezgaz)
Oleksandr Riepkin, (President of the Ukrainian Hydrogen Council)
The webinar will run in Microsoft Teams!
The webinar’s language — English.

Renewable energy sources such as wind and solar, not only provide humankind with the cleanest and most sustainable energy, but have already become the most affordable and cheapest energy sources in the world. Wind energy is a frontrunner of the global green energy transition and wrestler against climate change. Renewables have demonstrated their strong resilience to the current global challenges including COVID-19 pandemic. The efficiency of modern wind turbines and the availability of wind power resource at the local level make wind technologies competitive to fossil fuel ones, which are still imported to both, EU countries and Ukraine.
The improvement and lowered cost of wind technologies facilitate their usage in the market conditions. This trend can be found in many countries around the world, where wind technologies have become widespread. In 2019 the Ukrainian wind power sector surpassed 1 GW installed capacity. It remains critically important to undertake further steps. The growing urgency of shifting to a low carbon economy in line with Ukraine’s international commitments, the need of decommissioning obsolete nuclear units and phasing out of coal-fired generation within the foreseeable future, create favorable preconditions for the large-scale deployment of wind power in the country.
The annual conference of the Ukrainian Wind Energy Association 2021 is dedicated to an expert discussion on further development of the national wind power industry in transition from feed-in tariff to market-based conditions. The UWEA’s annual event is supported by the Ministry of Energy of Ukraine and the State Agency on Energy Efficiency and Energy Saving of Ukraine. International Partner of the Conference is WindEurope, General Sponsor - Vestas Northern & Central Europe.
Be all ears and hear the voice of industry
State authorities, national stakeholders including wind manufacturers and developers of wind projects will discuss further wind development in Ukraine after 2022, the year in which no new wind or solar power plants could apply for “green” tariff. The list of key speakers includes Acting Minister of Energy of Ukraine Yuriy Vitrenko, WindEurope CEO Giles Dickson, Deputy Minister for Reintegration of the Temporarily Occupied Territories of Ukraine Vyacheslav Shapovalov, MP’s of Ukraine, Chairman of the Management Board of NPC Ukrenergo Volodymyr Kudrytskyi, Director of the SE Guaranteed Buyer Kostyantyn Petrykovets, Acting Head of the State Agency on Energy Efficiency and Energy Saving of Ukraine Kostyantyn Gura as well as representatives of Vestas, Nordex, GE and international experts from IEA, Energy Community, Bloomberg NEF and Wood Mackenzie.
Get inspired and make your market better
During 2021 UWEA’s wind event, a top-class expert will talk openly on industry's hottest topics. Panelists will cover a wide range of issues, from the role of wind power in sustainable development of Ukraine and Europe, market - based initiatives for further successful wind development to “green” hydrogen technologies. Have a look at the programme to choose the best session for you!
