The ongoing war in Ukraine has been a catalyst for PV and storage deployment. Image: Oleg Ivanov via Unsplash. When the shelling gets worse, sales of renewable energy systems increase; when it eases, demand subsides until the shelling starts again. “It’s pretty funny,” says Artem Semenyshyn, board member at RePower Ukraine Charitable Foundation.
The future, however, is uncertain. From a PV standpoint, Sokolovskyi predicts that “80%” of new PV plants will be built with storage (largely due to the grid challenges) but that “we won’t see [a return of] large-scale projects this year.”
From a PV standpoint, Sokolovskyi predicts that “80%” of new PV plants will be built with storage (largely due to the grid challenges) but that “we won’t see [a return of] large-scale projects this year.” Whenever the war ends, he expects a “boom” for Ukrainian PV investment as the gaping hole opened by the attacks will need to be filled.
