Ukraine is transforming its energy sector not just through strategies and plans for the future. Today, projects are already being implemented across the country that make local communities, businesses, and critical infrastructure more energy-independent, resilient, and technologically advanced. Green energy technologies today are about more than decarbonization and energy transition. They represent one of the […]

Battery energy storage has crossed a decisive cost threshold: a new levelized cost of energy (LCOE) report from Wood Mackenzie finds that storage systems now deliver electricity more cheaply than gas-fired peaker plants in all 43 global markets the firm analyzed. The economics of grid balancing have fundamentally changed. On a lifecycle basis, battery installations […]

High upfront costs and rigid long-term contracts have kept many building owners from installing battery storage. Finnish startup Truman Data, which is commercialising a VTT-developed technology through its Energy Coop platform, is pitching a different arrangement: it organises battery financing, operates the systems, and takes an agreed share of whatever earnings the client actually receives […]

A cross-sector gathering of government, financial, and energy stakeholders will convene in Kyiv on 5 November 2026 for the first annual UAVE forum “Ukraine Renewable Energy Agenda 2027.” The event will be held in a shelter, with support from national energy company NEC Ukrenergo. Expected participants include representatives from the government, the Verkhovna Rada, the […]

Global investment fund Actis has completed the purchase of a 112 MW / 518 MWh battery storage project in Kozienice, Poland, from DTEK Renewable International, and has separately signed a conditional agreement to acquire a second facility in Trzebinia. Actis announced both transactions on October 6, 2026, roughly three months after its Polish platform launched. […]

An advisory body to the European Commission has recommended tightening regulatory oversight of the solar sector over cybersecurity concerns, identifying inverters and their software as potential vulnerabilities in the power grid. The Solar Energy Expert Group (SEEG) published a report outlining measures to limit exposure to equipment sourced from suppliers under risk-country jurisdictions. The document […]

Three communities in western Ukraine are exploring biogas production as a dual answer to waste management and local energy needs, with a joint application now on the table for a facility worth 9.8 million euros. The initiative was discussed at a pilot project final conference organised with UABIO participation on 7 October, bringing together Truskavets, […]

The EU solar sector is heading for a net workforce reduction of 108,000 jobs by 2030, even as total installed capacity continues to climb, according to a SolarPower Europe report. The driver is a structural shift: the industry has moved from a phase of rapid year-on-year expansion into a mature market where annual build volumes […]

The global solar supply chain will remain in oversupply for the next 12 to 24 months, with excess manufacturing capacity exiting the market only gradually, Edurne Zoco said in an interview with pv magazine. China’s manufacturing base alone can produce solar cells at a capacity exceeding 900 gigawatts per year, while global demand stands at […]
