DTEK Group has announced the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with GE Vernova to work on wind power generation projects in Ukraine and the European Union.
The agreement signed at the Ukraine Recovery Conference also paves the way for the pair to develop related grid infrastructure for the implementation of wind power generation projects.
They will also explore solutions aimed at modernizing Ukraine’s electricity grid to enhance supply reliability, minimize energy losses, and create a more flexible future-proofed network.
Maxim Timchenko, chief executive of DTEK said: “GE Vernova and DTEK have a strong history together and I am confident that today’s agreement marks the start of a much broader relationship in Ukraine and across the EU – from grids and wind power to gas turbines and small modular reactors.
“Together our two companies can play a pivotal role in the urgent task of restoring Ukraine’s energy infrastructure today, while also creating a clean and resilient energy system for the future.”
The agreement builds on long-standing collaboration between the two companies which includes commissioning the 200MW Prymorska wind farm near Zaporizhzhia.
DTEK have also been working with GE Vernova’s Electrification business on solutions for Ukrainian power distribution grids as well as renewable projects.
