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 ...

People, especially teenagers, feel vulnerable due to the lack of access to electricity and internet. Solar energy can provide confidence because it does not depend on electrical grid. To help them learn and understand how Ukraine's energy system and solar energy work, the RePower Ukraine Charitable Foundation organized lectures on these topics. The unique value of these lectures lies in the fact that they were held in 4 communities where the Foundation has already installed solar power plants on hospitals. This reassures children that in these critical moments, there will be light! Overview: Lectures were held in frontline communities: Sosnytsia and Mena (Chernihiv region), Konotop (Sumy region), Slobozhanska (Kharkiv region). These are the same communities where the RePower Ukraine Charitable Foundation have already installed a solar power plant. Challenges: Schools do not provide much information about renewable energy sources, with even less attention directed towards solar energy; Children are worried about electricity shortages; At this age, teenagers from their positions and plans for their future profession and mostly do not consider their future in the solar energy ...

The RePower Ukraine Charitable Foundation is cooperating with 4 communities, namely: Mena City Territorial Community, Konotop City Territorial Community, Sosnytsia Settlement Territorial Community, Kremenchuk City Territorial Community. Renewable energy sources, specifically solar power plants, will be installed at 4 critical infrastructure facilities in these communities, allowing them to operate uninterruptedly. Training has been conducted for employees of facilities with installed renewable energy sources in each community. About the project: The main goal of the proposed project is to assist Ukrainian communities in creating decentralized renewable energy systems for their own production and consumption. The project also aims to support and develop civil society that promotes energy transition and reduces environmental impact and climate change. These ...

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.

We are convinced that change begins with education. That is why RePower Ukraine launched the Sunny Future children's educational project, designed to develop schoolchildren's understanding of renewable energy principles, ecological thinking, and environmental responsibility. The first meeting within the program was held at the Poltava Interschool Resource Center. The first students to join Sunny Future were those in grades 4-8. Captivated by the energy of the future Iaroslava Denisova, the foundation's director, told the children about RePower Ukraine's activities, mission, and motivation for creating an educational program for the youngest children. Oleksandr Subbota, a solar power plant designer in Ukraine, was also a guest at the event. He explained to the schoolchildren how solar panels work, what types of energy there are, and why it is important to use natural resources responsibly. In addition to theory, the meeting turned into a lively dialogue. Children asked profound and unexpected questions about oil and its impact on the environment, the shape of solar panels, and the role of humans in creating a safe energy system. “Despite their young age, the ...
