Since the beginning of 2025, 324 MW of new wind power capacity has been built in Ukraine, while in the previous two years—between 2022 and the first quarter of 2025—248 MW of new wind power capacity was commissioned. This was announced by Andriy Konechenkov, Chairman of the Board of the Ukrainian Wind Energy Association (UWEA), at a press conference entitled “Wind Energy and UHE in 2025: A Year of New Decisions, Challenges, and Growth” at the Interfax-Ukraine news agency on Friday.
“Today, about 40% of this volume has already been connected to the grid and is generating electricity, the rest is in the testing stage, and companies promise us that, if not by the end of this year, then by the end of the first quarter of 2026, all 324 MW will be generating electricity,” he said.
In addition, according to Konechenkov, new wind farm projects with a total capacity of 4.5 GW are still being implemented in Ukraine, of which 44% are located in the west of the country, 34% in the central regions, and the remaining 22% in the south of Ukraine, primarily in the Odesa and Mykolaiv regions.
According to the UEA, the total capacity of wind farms installed in Ukraine is currently 2.3 GW, of which 1.3 GW are located in the temporarily occupied territory.
The country also has 534 MW of total installed capacity of energy storage systems (BESS).
