The Ministry of Development and the United Nations Development Programme in Ukraine have signed an agreement to finance a large-scale initiative in the field of renewable energy. The project, titled “Renewable Energy Solutions,” has a budget of €16.5 million and aims to implement modern energy technologies in the country’s social infrastructure facilities.

Implementation of Modern Energy Solutions in Communities
The program includes the installation of solar panels, heat pumps, and battery systems at social sector facilities, particularly in schools, hospitals, and kindergartens. Special attention is given to supporting communities located near the front line, where energy security is of utmost importance. By implementing renewable energy sources, even in the event of power outages, the most vulnerable populations will not be left without essential services.
“Energy independence is not only a strategic goal but also an urgent need for recovery right now,” said the Ministry of Development.
Promoting Green Transition and Community Resilience
The United Nations emphasized that the new agreement is a key step towards accelerating Ukraine’s “green transition.” It allows for a shift from planning to practical implementation, rebuilding the country with environmental standards in mind, as well as strengthening education and healthcare systems and enhancing the resilience of local communities. This project will provide additional energy independence and support communities in adapting to modern challenges.
