The Norwegian company Scatec Solar has completed the connection to the network and launched the second project in Ukraine – a 54 MW solar power station near Bohuslav (Kyiv region), the company’s website reported.
“We are pleased to complete our second project in Ukraine less than ten months after closing the financing. The Bohuslav solar plant will lead to the abatement of more than 24,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions and contribute to growing the share of renewable energy in the country,” Raymond Carlsen, the CEO of Scatec Solar, said.
“With this project, Scatec Solar passes the milestone of 1.5 GW in operation globally. In addition, a portfolio of 399 MW is under construction, of which 235 MW in Ukraine,” the report says.
Bohuslavenergy is owned by Scatec Solar through the Dutch subsidiary Scatec Solar Ukraine B.V. Scatec Solar in 2018 established and acquired about a dozen companies in Ukraine to implement its renewable energy projects.
