Wind power in Ukraine

[11] Before the war, Ukraine had around 55 GW of power station capacity, mainly coal, nuclear and gas.

[13] The country's only wind turbine manufacturer moved 1,500 km from the frontline to the western border in 2022.

[14] The coasts of the Black and Azov Seas, the mountainous regions of the Crimean peninsula (especially the north-eastern coast) and the Carpathians, Odesa, Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, Donetsk, Luhansk and Mykolaiv regions are the most suitable for the construction of wind power plants.

The interest in exploring the most promising places for using wind energy is growing, based on its climatic potential and indicators of its possible utilization.

[17] In the medium term, it is possible to develop about 5,000 MW of wind energy, that is, 20-30% of total electricity consumption in the country.
