ACCIONA Energía has started construction work on a 57.2-megawatt peak (MWp - 44 nominal MW) photovoltaic complex in Dymerka, northern Ukraine, in which it will invest €55 million. It will be ACCIONA’s first installation of its type in the country, where the company is also analysing other potential photovoltaic and wind power projects.
The complex, located around 100 kilometres north-west of Kiev, will consist of three adjacent photovoltaic plants (Dymerka 2, 3 and 4) on a site covering 92 hectares. Start-up will be in 2019.
Fully owned by ACCIONA Energía, this photovoltaic complex will be equipped with 174,552 polycrystalline silicon modules mounted on fixed structures to produce 63 gigawatt-hours (GWh) per year, equivalent to the consumption of over 26,000 Ukrainian homes. This will avoid the emission of more than 60,000 tonnes of CO2 to the atmosphere from coal-fired power stations per year.
The energy generated will be sent to the national grid and sold to the public utility company of the Ukraine, Energorynok State Enterprise, with which a PPA contract will be signed for the electricity supplied (up to 31 December 2029). Later, ACCIONA will sign up for the pricing system to be established for the Ukrainian market.
