DTEK Renewables has started pre-design works for the Poltavska wind project in Ukraine.
On 26 October, the company signed a trilateral agreement with the executive committee of the Hlobyne city council and a specialised certified organisation that will provide a range of spatial planning works.
The pre-design work will involve a series of engineering and geodetic surveys, as well as the development of a territory plan.
It will include preparation of an environmental assessment report, and a set of land management, land cadastre and land valuation tasks.
These works will be completed by May 2024.
“We are looking to the future, despite the war,” said DTEK Renewables deputy director Oleg Solovei.
“We are deliberately and consciously going to this region because a large, energy-deficient power plant is very much needed here.
“Electricity from Poltavska WPP will give an impetus to more rapid development of the economy in Poltava and adjacent regions.”
Hlobyne Mayor Stanislav Dzhus took part in the signing of the agreement on behalf of the community.
Dzhus added: “We are very keen for DTEK Renewables to implement this ambitious project in our community and make Ukraine energy independent.”
