The delegation from the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Ukraine in the UK Parliament visited DTEK Tyligulska Wind Power Plant located in Mykolaiv Oblast. The delegation was led by Alex Sobel, MP, Vice Chair of the Group.
The MPs expressed interest in visiting DTEK Renewables’ wind farm, as they wanted to see the wind power project completed during the full-scale war raging in Ukraine.
Representatives of DTEK Renewables expressed their gratitude to their foreign partners for the assistance that the UK has extended to Ukraine, not only in the military and humanitarian arenas but also in the energy sector. They also asked the MPs for help finding investors interested in decarbonization projects undertaken in the Ukrainian energy sector, in particular, for the construction of Phase II of the Tyligulska Wind Farm.
“We were delighted to welcome such distinguished guests to the Tyligulska Wind Farm. During the visit, we wanted not only to provide useful and interesting information but also apprise international investors about the opportunities and prospects for the development of renewable energy projects that exist in Ukraine despite the war. We are currently looking for the funding required to complete Phase II of the 384 MW Tyligulska Wind Farm,” said Oleksandr Selishchev, CEO of DTEK Renewables.
Chief Power Engineer Maksym Bohaditsia took the foreign guests on a tour of the facility. He told the MPs all the details of the construction project and the challenges the team had to face during the war.
