The most prestigious Energy Globe Award 2019 has found its winners. This year the National ENERGY GLOBE Award Ukraine 2019 goes to Solar Chernobyl LLC for the implementation of the project SOLAR CHERNOBYL – 1 MWp SPP. The main idea of this ambitious project is to turn the radioactive contaminated area into a useful area of green energy production.
The Solar Chornobyl site is 100 meters from the Chernobyl nuclear power plant reactor. This is the first solar station located in the Chernobyl zone and it is supposed to have a positive impact on the economic and ecological situation in Chernobyl. From July 01, 2018, for the first time in 18 years, the first kilowatts from Chernobyl began to flow into the united power grid of Ukraine. At present, the power plant has a capacity of 1 MW.
The ENERGY GLOBE Award was founded in 1999 by the Austrian energy pioneer Wolfgang Neumann and is one of today’s most prestigious environmental awards. It is annually conferred by the Energy Globe Foundation to innovative projects offering practical solutions on environmental issues and developing sustainable initiatives for a sustainable future. Participants from 180 countries present projects from around the world, ranging from small and simple initiatives to extremely large-scale ideas, aimed at saving resources, improving air and water quality, energy efficiency and using of renewable energy.
Advantage Austria congratulates the winners on the successful implementation of the another project and on this reputable award.
