UWEA Board Member Mykola Savchuk, Gresa Group company, spoke at the webinar organized by the World Wind Energy Association (WWEA), dedicated to the development of small wind power generation in different countries of the world “Small Wind in Practice – What the Industry Provides to Make It Work”. Experts from such major small wind energy markets as the United States, Sweden, the United Kingdom, Germany, Ukraine and Spain presented their achievements, products and services.
In his presentation, Mykola Savchuk presented models of small wind turbines manufactured in Ukraine, namely the Flamengo Aero wind turbines. Unfortunately, the war unleashed by russia destroyed the small wind turbine manufacturing facility in Kharkiv. Resumption of wind turbine production will require appropriate investments. Practical experience of using Ukrainian small wind turbines in different countries has proven their reliability and efficiency. Ukrainian models of small wind turbines are among the best ones in the world.
Mr. Savchuk emphasized the importance of distributed generation for Ukraine: “The practice of using small wind turbines during the war in Ukraine (occupation zones, combat zones and other territories with unstable grid power generation) has shown that distributed generation from wind energy has made it possible to have available electricity for our own needs, sometimes even for our neighbors.”
Mykola Savchuk concluded his speech with these words: “Ukraine needs victory, peace and recovery.”
