On 9 March 2026, UWEA and the international consulting company NIRAS signed a Memorandum of Understanding aimed at developing renewable energy and supporting the “green” reconstruction of Ukraine.
The partnership envisages joint work on:
- developing renewable energy projects at the community level
- preparing and implementing wind energy and energy storage projects
- attracting international financing and improving the investment environment
- educational and awareness-raising initiatives
Jesper Karup Pedersen, Regional Director for Ukraine, NIRAS:
“I am very glad that we are signing this Memorandum of Understanding today. There are two reasons for this. Firstly, wind energy plays, and will continue to play, an important role in Ukraine in the future. Secondly, UWEA is our reliable partner and, I hope, will become an even stronger partner in the future.”
Andriy Konechenkov, Chairman of the UWEA Board:
“I am very grateful to NIRAS and personally to Jesper Pedersen for the fact that today we have signed a very important Memorandum. I understand that the Memorandum is only the beginning of our work. At the same time, cooperation with such a large Danish structure as NIRAS can significantly help Ukraine not only in restoring the energy sector, but also in building a new architecture for the national energy system. We aim to make the fullest possible use of Denmark’s experience to apply it in Ukrainian realities.”
The Memorandum lays the foundation for systematic cooperation in the areas of: the development of distributed generation; the integration of renewables and energy storage; and the preparation of investment projects for international financial institutions.
The signing of this Memorandum is another important step towards the formation of a new, resilient Ukrainian power system that is integrated with the EU. UWEA extends its sincere gratitude to NIRAS for its trust and partnership and looks forward to fruitful and long-term cooperation!
