The new station will be able to provide energy to almost 9,000 households and will prevent the emission of 30 thousand tons of carbon dioxide per year
May 06, 2020. — UDP Renewables, whose strategic investor is UFuture, put into commercial operation a new solar power station “Terslav” in the Obukhiv village council of the Dnipro region of the Dnipropetrovsk Oblast. Investments in the project amounted to about €15.5 million.
“Supporting sustainable development goals is a global trend and a priority for every civilized country in the world. Ukraine should think strategically, mitigate risks and switch to green generation using modern technologies. The new station is our contribution with partners to the development of the country's renewable energy industry,” noted Vasyl Khmelnytsky, founder of UFuture.
SPP “Terslav” with a peak capacity of 20 MW covers an area of 28 hectares and is equipped with more than 91,000 Longi Solar solar panels. The station will produce almost 23,275 MW/h per year. This is enough to provide electricity to about 9,000 households.
“UDP Renewables launches SPP “Terslav” at a difficult time for the industry. Businesses will have to pass one more test, working in conditions of the severe liquidity crisis. When commissioning the facility, the company traditionally cooperated with Ukrainian manufacturers, the cost of services of which in this project is 180 million UAH. During the construction and operation of the facility at different stages more than 160 jobs were created,” noted managing partner of UDP Renewables Sergiy Yevtushenko.
The launch of the SPP “Terslav” will prevent the emission of 30 thousand tons of carbon dioxide per year into the atmosphere. Helios Strategia was the general contractor for the construction, and Oschadbank was the financial partner.
