Despite all the challenges of the full-scale war, Ukrainian wind energy continues to develop and to attract international investment. The Skole wind farm project in the Lviv region is a vivid example of how advanced technologies contribute to building the new energy sector in Ukraine.
The uniqueness of this wind farm lies in its scale and innovativeness: the project comprises 9 Nordex N163 wind turbines with a capacity of 7 MW each, which makes them the most powerful in Ukraine to date! The total capacity of the station reaches 63 MW, and its launch demonstrates a clear course towards developing a modern, decentralised power system. All of this became possible thanks to Atlas Global Energy, which has been operating on the Ukrainian market since 2016 and has a portfolio of wind and solar power projects exceeding 300 MW.
Atlas Global Energy regards Ukraine as one of its strategic markets for long-term development. The combination of their experience, investment capacity, cooperation with local communities and local partnership is shaping a new model of our energy sector – resilient and attractive for investment.
Andriy Konechenkov, Chairman of the UWEA Board, shared his impressions of the visit:
“This project, implemented by the Turkish company Atlas Global Energy, is truly a landmark one. Thanks to it, Ukraine has obtained wind turbines of record unit capacity – 7 MW each, and we have never had such a scale before. I want to sincerely thank our Turkish partners: despite the war and all the current challenges, you are investing in wind energy. Today this is the most resilient and critically necessary technology, which helps to overcome the energy crisis in Ukraine.”
Onur Kopcuoglu, Director of Atlas Global Energy, noted:
“We are extremely pleased to welcome the leadership of the Ukrainian Wind Energy Association. The Skole wind farm is our first investment in Ukrainian wind energy, so it holds special significance for us. We are proud of the successful completion of the construction and of being able to support the Ukrainian economy now. Our company plans to continue staying here in order to implement new renewable energy projects in the coming years.”
The Skole wind farm project once again confirms: Ukraine is capable of implementing large, modern energy projects, integrated into the European context of clean energy development. Let’s move towards energy independence together!
