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 ...
