About the Project Renewable energy (RE) has become a national priority for Ukraine as the country strives for energy independence and works to meet its climate commitments. For Sosnytsia, a community in northern Ukraine heavily affected by the full-scale Russian invasion, the transition to renewables is not just an environmental ambition — it is a vital necessity. The Sosnytsia Renewable Energy Transition Concept to 2050 outlines a concrete action plan for post-war recovery and long-term sustainable development. By leveraging local resources — solar, wind, biomass, and small-scale hydropower — the community aims not only to meet its own energy needs but also to improve the environment and the wellbeing of its residents. Background Sosnytsia community (Chernihiv region, northeast Ukraine) suffered significant damage during the war. Parts of the territory were under occupation. As of 2021, the population stands at 15,571. The local economy is based on food production, wood processing, and light machinery manufacturing. 55% of the municipal budget is allocated to education. Most buildings are poorly insulated, resulting in high heat losses and energy inefficiency — a ...

Due to the rapid growth of the popularity of solar energy in Ukraine, there was a shortage of workers in the industry, in particular solar power plant installers, and high-quality training of specialists. In response to these needs, Repower Ukraine Foundation conducted a training for the adult population “Solar Power Plant Installer: Technologies and Prospects of the Solar Energy Market”. The training was held in an online format and consisted of three lectures: The State of the Solar Energy Market and Development Prospects; Calculation of the Economic Efficiency of Solar Power Plants; The Market and Technologies of the Future in Solar Energy. It was attended by 25 participants. The topics were interesting to them, so they asked many questions even before the QA session. Overview Solar energy is a new industry that is growing rapidly. On the one hand, this speaks of its prospects, and on the other hand, not much people know enough about it to be interested in working in it. Therefore, the training “SPP Installer: Technologies and Prospects of the Solar Energy Market” aimed to ...
