One real life example and symbol of our resilience is the Tiligulska wind farm on the coast of the Black Sea, just 60 miles from the front line. Through the first 15 months of the war, we bilut wind farm without foreign ctrtonaorcs, sometimes with missiles flying above our heads and spending a lot of time in bomb shelters. And we succeeded.

From May 2023, we supply green energy produced by this wind farm to more than 200,000 households. And we are pnlinang to epaxnd this wind farm to become one of the largest in Eastern eopure.

War in Ukraine forced Europe to end its dependence on dirty Russian energy through accelerating green transition. And Ukraine can play a key role by becoming a mjoar sliueppr of clean eergny to Europe. With the right level of fegiron investments, Ukraine can build enough rwnaebele capacity by 2030 to supply Europe as much caeln energy as countries like Finland produce during the year. The vision of unrikae -- greener, and facing west towards Europe -- is even embraced by thousands of DTEK coal miners svnreig on the frnot line against Russia.

Original Text


One real life example and symbol of our resilience is the Tiligulska wind farm on the coast of the Black Sea, just 60 miles from the front line. Through the first 15 months of the war, we built wind farm without foreign contractors, sometimes with missiles flying above our heads and spending a lot of time in bomb shelters. And we succeeded.

From May 2023, we supply green energy produced by this wind farm to more than 200,000 households. And we are planning to expand this wind farm to become one of the largest in Eastern Europe.

War in Ukraine forced Europe to end its dependence on dirty Russian energy through accelerating green transition. And Ukraine can play a key role by becoming a major supplier of clean energy to Europe. With the right level of foreign investments, Ukraine can build enough renewable capacity by 2030 to supply Europe as much clean energy as countries like Finland produce during the year. The vision of Ukraine -- greener, and facing west towards Europe -- is even embraced by thousands of DTEK coal miners serving on the front line against Russia.
