Oversized cargo transportation company TAD plans to invest €20 million next year in expanding its fleet of wind turbine transport equipment in Ukraine due to increased demand for such services, according to the company’s founder and CEO Vitaliy Melnyk.
“I believe in Ukraine’s wind potential. There are a lot of requests for the transportation of wind equipment, and activity has been very high, especially in the last year or two. We are growing. Next year, we plan to invest EUR 20 million in expanding our fleet of equipment specifically designed for transporting large wind turbines,” he said during the Ukrainian Wind Energy Forum 2025 organized by the Ukrainian Wind Energy Association, which is being held in Lviv on Tuesday.
As Melnik explained, many wind projects were halted with the start of the war precisely because foreign partners refused to install and deliver turbines to Ukraine due to military risks. Therefore, such services began to actively develop within the country.
