Wind Power in Ukraine – A Country between War and a Renewable Future | with Yevhenii Kontorshchykov and Stefan Gsänger

Almost a century ago, pioneers in Ukraine laid the foundations
for modern wind power technology. Following independence,
investment in larger wind farms began, establishing Ukraine as a
significant market for wind turbines. As one of the largest
countries in Europe in terms of land mass, Ukraine is blessed
with all types of renewable energy resources.


Yevhenii Kontorshchykov, an analyst at the Ukrainian Wind Energy
Association, explains the current situation regarding the
country's energy supply and wind power. Despite the ongoing war,
investment in the wind sector is growing, with many communities
and enterprises starting to invest directly to secure their
electricity supply. This is leading to a more decentralised power
supply structure and new business opportunities.
