Repower Ukraine has appealed to the European and UK sustainable energy industry to do more to help its vital hospital energy programme. Right now, and after an already brutal winter, temperatures in Kyiv are set to drop again to minus 15 degrees Celsius, with at least another week of severe sub-zero temperatures forecast.   Svitlana Vovchenko, CEO of Repower Ukraine, explained that  "very harsh winter conditions, combined with the large-scale destruction of the energy system, have affected literally everyone, but Repower Ukraine is providing some hope to frontline medical facilities. Together with our European and UK partners, we have already delivered 10 vital solar and battery hospital projects, but with greater support, we could be doing even more to address this severe and ongoing crisis."   Russia's deliberate targeting of Ukraine's energy infrastructure has led to a widespread humanitarian crisis, with predictably grim results. Earlier this month, Kharkiv, for example, declared an energy regional-level emergency after months of constant enemy shelling. Ordinary Ukrainians, of course, are on the frontline of this brutal onslaught, which is clearly designed to ...

The RePower Ukraine Charity Fund is implementing the Evaluating Solar Potential for Municipal Facilities project for the second Ukrainian community. This time, the calculation and visualization of solar potential will be performed for 16 municipal buildings in the Slobozhanske community, Kharkiv region. Local authorities, heads of municipal institutions, NGOs, and community stakeholders will receive recommendations on installing photovoltaic systems and thermal collectors on the roofs of critical infrastructure. The project includes calculating the approximate cost of PV instalations and estimating savings on electricity consumption for each facility. Overview: The Slobozhanske community faced an energy crisis when the Zmiivska TPP was destroyed by a missile attack from russia on March 2024. Currently, Slobozhanske is in a problematic situation regarding its residents' electricity, heat, and water supply. Electricity is being supplied through temporary solutions, which we do not disclose for security reasons. The local and regional councils seek alternative ways to ensure the community's energy supply. Understanding the significance of sustainable energy, the city authorities have signed a memorandum with the RePower Ukraine Charity Foundation ...

Our RePower Ukraine Foundation is implementing a project – Evaluating Solar Potential for Municipal Facilities in Ladyzhyn City, that involves calculating and visualising the solar potential of the roofs of 20 municipal buildings in the Ladyzhyn city, and providing recommendations for installing photovoltaic systems and thermal collectors. Overview: The Ladyzhyn City faced an energy crisis when the Ladyzhyn Thermal Power Plant, its primary source of electricity and heat, was targeted by missile attacks from russia and seriously damaged. Understanding the significance of sustainable energy, the city authorities have signed a memorandum with the RePower Ukraine Charity Foundation to implement joint initiatives to accelerate the city's energy transition to renewable energy sources. About the project: The project entails a precise evaluation and visualisation of solar potential using solar mapping technology. This involves the analysis of various factors such as solar radiation, topography, building geometry, roof shapes, and shading. The objective is to provide detailed recommendations for the optimal placement of solar panels and thermal collectors for 20 municipal establishments in the city. Tasks: Conduct ...

The RePower Ukraine Charitable Foundation has provided four portable ALTEK 1075.2 W/h power stations to the Okhtyrka Central District Hospital. Overview: The Okhtyrka hospital is one of the oldest in the Sumy region - it is 100-year-old. Its medical staff was forced to live and work in the hospital basement for the first 45 days of the war as the city suffered relentless bombardments. The hospital was the only medical facility in the area that remained operational during the shelling. The hospital performs more than 2,000 surgeries and handles up to 200 deliveries a year. The establishment has a highly qualified medical staff comprising 40 specialties, with its emergency and urgent care departments operating 24 hours a day. Challenge: Located in Sumy Oblast, 50 kilometers from the border with russia, it faces all the front-line challenges. The constant enemy attacks caused serious damage to the energy infrastructure of Okhtyrka as the city was shelled for 30 days in a row. The missile strike that targeted the Okhtyrka thermal power station in the first ...

RePower Ukraine Charitable Foundation supplied essential energy backup equipment to the surgeons' team at a mobile stabilization point led by Doctor Mr. Igor Belkin. Overview: The mobile stabilization point serves as a crucial facility, offering emergency medical aid and stabilization to individuals injured in the front-line region. The medical team consists of 5-6 surgeons and anesthesiologists dedicated to saving lives. Over the past year, the team provided emergency aid to 3.5 thousand people. Challenge: Russian attacks on Ukraine's energy system and critical infrastructure have severely disrupted access to electricity. Availability of uninterrupted power supply is crucial for saving lives in hospitals, especially in the front-line region. Solution: RePower Ukraine Charitable Foundation procured and delivered essential energy backup equipment to the dedicated Igor Belkin surgical team. Equipment includes a portable solar battery, charging station, flashlight spotlights, and surge-protected extension leads. Gratitude: Our foundation expresses deep appreciation to all generous donors, including our esteemed friend and ambassador, Camille Dressler from the Scottish Islands, for their contributions to the fundraising campaign. ...
