of Zhytomyr city calls for erecting about 50 wind turbines.
In windswept western Ukraine, Vasyl Khmelnitsky’s UDP Renewables plans to build three wind farms in Volyn with a total capacity of 198 MW. Equipped with 44 wind turbines, the wind farms will be in Zaturtsiv, midway between Lutsk and the Polish border. The wind is a new area for UDP Renewables which is building five solar plants in Ukraine this year.
Nearby in Zaporizhia, DTEK Renewables is completing this summer, a second, €150mn phase of its Primorskaya Wind Electricity Plant. Due for commissioning next month, the second phase will bring the capacity of Primorskaya up to 200 MW. Funded by a 10-year loan from a consortium of German banks, Primorskaya will use 52 GE 3.8 turbines.
Oleksiy Feliv, a managing partner of Integrites, a Kyiv law firm specializing in renewable energy law, plans to build a 96 MW wind farm in Roksolany, a village overlooking the Dnister Estuary.
