Solar Aid For Ukraine
with solar energy
ABOUT PROJECT
Electricity blackouts are a major disruption to the work of hospitals and WATER UTILITIES.
Hospitals save thousands of lives every day providing medical care to the civilian population, and for that they need an uninterrupted electricity supply. Water utilities provide water supply to the population. Solar power plants are a long-term solution to the problem, a reliable protection against possible worsening of the situation, and also one of the first steps for Ukrainian municipalities towards the green recovery of the country.
The non-government organization Ecoclub with the support of the Solar Energy Association of Ukraine, launched the Solar Aid For Ukraine Project ITS PURPOSE IS TO PROVIDE UKRAINIAN CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE WITH A RELIABLE SOURCE OF ELECTRICITY, WHICH IS SOLAR POWER PLANTS.
Our primary objective is to equip as many hospitals and water utilities with a reliable and sustainable source of energy and storage with solar power plants. This will allow medical staff to continue to save lives and treat our civilian population during everyday power cuts. And SPP for water utilities guarantee uninterrupted water supply. SPP will also reduce the reliance, maintenance and burden of expensive cumbersome diesel fuelled generators.

Ukrainian energy infrastructure is one of the russian goals since the full-scale invasion. Through 6 massive attacks were damaged or destroyed almost 70% of electricity generation. Significant destruction multiple times caused planned and emergency power outages in the whole country. Even though Ukrenerho’s specialists are now partially managing to stabilise electricity consumption, possible russian attacks… Read more: Why should municipalities install decentralized solar power plants during a war? - Advantages of solar power plants with batteries for critical infrastructure
In times of war and constant attacks on the energy system, critical infrastructure needs to have reliable sources of backup power. Hospitals, water utilities and other vital facilities need to operate without interruption, and partial or complete shutdowns can endanger people’s health or lives. In communities most medical facilities are equipped with generators. Most medical… Read more: Advantages of solar power plants with batteries for critical infrastructure - Three reasons why an educational institution should install a solar power plant
