Last week, on 17 April, Kyiv hosted an event that has already become a landmark for Ukraine’s renewable energy market — the official 100 gREen AWARD-2025 ceremony. For the first time in Ukraine, a national award was established to recognise the best implemented projects of the green transformation – in wind energy, solar generation, energy storage, bioenergy and energy efficiency.
This year, the laureates were 18 projects from various corners of Ukraine — from industrial enterprises to university campuses, from municipal water utilities to wind farms in the Carpathians. They all share one thing in common: these are not plans and concepts, but real, implemented solutions that are already changing the country’s energy map today.
UWEA is one of the co-founders of Global 100 RE Ukraine – a platform that unites leading industry associations to drive Ukraine’s transition to 100% renewable energy. That is why we are doubly pleased to announce that among the 18 laureates, as many as five UWEA member companies received awards.
Wind Parks of Ukraine — Nyzhni Vorota Wind Farm
“Leader of the region’s wind energy transformation”
This award is for courage and persistence. The Nyzhni Vorota wind farm became the first wind farm in the history of Zakarpattia – a region where wind energy had previously been present only on potential maps. Implementing such a project under the conditions of a full-scale war is, in itself, a testament to the team’s resilience and its faith in the future of Ukrainian energy.
 | VOLTAGE Group – Megawatt-class industrial energy storage “Leader in energy storage in industry” If wind and solar generation are the heart of renewable energy, then energy storage is its nervous system. VOLTAGE Group has implemented a megawatt-class industrial energy storage facility for the in-house needs of a manufacturing company, combining renewable generation with the stability of the production process. It is precisely such projects that show that green energy is no longer only about ecology, but also about the reliability and economics of a business. |
| Atlas Global Energy — wind farm, 63 MW, Lviv region “Best investment project in wind energy” 63 MW of installed capacity in the Lviv region – and that under conditions of active hostilities in the country. The Atlas Global Energy project became a convincing signal to the international community: Ukraine remains a market for large-scale investments in renewable energy. Such projects are not only about megawatts, but also about trust, reputation and future opportunities for the entire industry. |  |
 | GREEN SYSTEM — A network of solar stations for 10 kindergartens “Best clean-energy project for preschool education” The energy independence of educational institutions is not only about renewable energy, but first and foremost about the safety of children and the stable operation of social infrastructure even during outages. 10 kindergartens of the Bucha and Myrhorod communities will receive electricity from solar power. For more reliable energy supply, the solar systems were installed together with GREEN SYSTEM energy storage systems. This is an example of how technology already serves communities today – where it matters most. |
KNESS – An energy storage portfolio with a total capacity of over 140 MWh
“Leader in energy storage” / enhancing power-system flexibility
Rounding off our five winners is KNESS – with one of the largest energy storage portfolios in Ukraine. 7 storage facilities have already been commissioned, and since October 2025 they have been providing ancillary services to the power system. This is not a pilot or a test – it is full-fledged new infrastructure that increases the flexibility of the grid and opens up room for the further scaling of renewable generation.
Five different projects, different directions — but one shared logic: to build the Ukrainian energy of the future today, despite everything.
We sincerely congratulate the teams of Wind Parks of Ukraine, VOLTAGE Group, Atlas Global Energy, Green System and KNESS on their well-deserved recognition! We are proud that such companies are part of UWEA, and we are confident that this is only the beginning of a long journey.
