This was emphasized by Oleksandr Dombrovskyi, Chairman of the Board of Global 100 RE Ukraine and President of PJSC MHP Eco Energy. According to […]

Global 100 RE Ukraine has published an article outlining Odesa’s plans to build a combined heat and power (CHP) plant fueled by RDF and SRF — specially processed fuels derived from sorted municipal solid waste. The project’s preliminary cost is estimated at UAH 4.5 billion, with a waste sorting facility also planned adjacent to the […]

Can electricity consumers become active participants in the energy system and help support the grid during periods of peak demand? Global 100 RE Ukraine has published an article examining Google’s decision to scale up a virtual power plant (VPP) within the US PJM power grid to more than 1 GW. The concept involves aggregating thousands […]

The number of utility-scale battery energy storage systems continues to grow — yet the frequency of incidents is declining sharply. Global 100 RE Ukraine has published an article highlighting new data on the safety of large-scale battery energy storage systems in the United States. According to EPRI estimates, between 2016 and 2025, the incident rate […]

A Municipal Energy Plan is not just a document “for the sake of it.” It is a roadmap that helps the community determine which energy projects to implement first, where to direct its own funds, and where to attract loans or grant financing. As Nataliia Kholodova, program manager at the NGO “Ecotclub,” explains, one of […]

Solar Generation + Heat Pump: How Efficient Can Such a Combination Be in Ukraine? The Global 100 RE Ukraine website published an article about practical cases where solar generation works together with heat pumps and storage systems. One of the striking examples is a project in Zviahel, where the estimated cost of heat after modernization […]

More solar panels do not always mean a better energy project. One of the common mistakes made by communities is trying to design a solar power plant with the maximum possible capacity, often without correlating it with the facility’s actual consumption and integration capabilities. As Nataliia Kholodova, Project Manager at the NGO Ekoclub, explains, this […]
