Kyivstar, Ukraine’s largest mobile operator, announced the acquisition of six solar power plants (SPPs) with a total installed capacity of 105 MW in Lviv Oblast for 3.6 billion UAH, or $80.8 million, according to a company statement on Tuesday.
“Renewable energy is one of the key areas of Kyivstar’s investment portfolio, as it opens up opportunities for the further use of ‘green’ electricity to cover part of the company’s energy needs,” Kyivstar CEO and President Oleksandr Komarov is quoted as saying in the release.
Taking into account the initial purchase last December of the 13-MW “Sunwin 11” solar power plant for $3 million in the Zhytomyr region, Kyivstar’s total “green” generation capacity has grown to 118 MW, enabling the company to generate electricity equivalent to approximately 30% of its current annual consumption, the press release states.
“Electricity from the acquired solar power plant group will be fed into Ukraine’s unified power grid in accordance with current market and regulatory rules, which will allow Kyivstar to partially hedge against risks associated with fluctuations in electricity prices,” Kyivstar explained.
The mobile operator noted that these “green” projects also enable it to build a long-term energy consumption model, strengthen the country’s energy sector, and align with sustainable development goals.
“Kyivstar will continue to invest in initiatives that combine technological efficiency, compliance with ESG principles, and support for the Ukrainian economy,” the company noted.
As reported, in March of this year, Kyivstar received approval from the AMCU to purchase six solar power plants in the Lviv region: Energo-Postach-Plus LLC, Lightful, Sunlight Generation, Ternovytsia Solar, Energy Space, and Ternovytsia Solar Plus.
In the first quarter of 2026, Kyivstar increased its EBITDA by 28.5% to UAH 7.5 billion, while revenue grew by 31.3% to UAH 13.9 billion.
In 2025, the Kyivstar Group increased its EBITDA by 30% to UAH 27 billion, with revenue growing by 30.3% to UAH 48.2 billion. In particular, in the fourth quarter of last year, EBITDA increased by 23.1% to UAH 7.2 billion, with revenue growing by 30.1% to UAH 13.5 billion.
The Ukrainian group of companies Kormotech, a manufacturer of dog and cat food, continues to expand its on-site solar power generation at its production facility in Prylbychi, Lviv Region. The commissioning of a 366-kW ground-mounted solar power plant is scheduled for May, according to the company’s press service.
“The experience of leading European manufacturers confirms that on-site solar power generation at industrial facilities is becoming the industry standard. Kormotech is moving purposefully in this direction; our strategic goal by 2028 is to cover at least 15% of our electricity consumption through our own generation,” said Chief Power Engineer Yuriy Komprychevsky.
As previously reported, on July 2, 2024, Kormotech commissioned a 383 kW rooftop solar power plant. On June 6, 2025, the plant was modernized, after which its capacity increased to 442 kW. This made it possible to increase the volume of green electricity production.
At the same time, Kormotech’s energy team was seeking an external investor to build a ground-mounted solar power plant. Since May of last year, the company’s specialists have reviewed proposals from five companies. Following negotiations, Kormotech signed an agreement with Ecotech Invest. Under this model, the investor fully finances the construction of the plant, and the company purchases the generated electricity at a pre-agreed rate.
As of now, the company is completing the construction of a 366 kW ground-mounted solar power plant; after its launch, the total solar generation capacity at the Prilbychi facility will reach 808 kW.
According to Komprichevsky, on sunny summer days during lunchtime, the power plants will be able to cover up to 50% of the plant’s instantaneous consumption. On a monthly basis, the share of self-generated green electricity will account for about 13% of total consumption, and on an annual basis, about 8%.
Kormotech is an international family-owned company with Ukrainian roots, founded in 2003. It produces cat and dog food under the Optimeal, Club 4 Paws, Delickcious, Meow!, Woof!, and My Love brands. It has production facilities in Ukraine and the EU, and its product range includes over 650 items. The company’s products are available in 55 countries worldwide, both under its own brands and under the brands of partner companies.
According to published information, the company’s strategic goal is to become one of the top 30 global pet food manufacturers by 2029, with annual revenue of EUR 500 million, of which EUR 300 million is planned to come from European markets.
