The Russian full-scale invasion of Ukraine put out of service 90% of wind energy facilities and 45-50% of solar energy facilities in Ukraine, Ukrainian Energy Minister Herman Halushchenko said in an interview with We-Ukraine Channel.
“Green energy is probably the most affected industry, as most of our capacities have been located in southern Ukraine. We have lost about 90% of wind energy facilities and 45-50% of solar energy facilities. These are huge losses,” he said.
Meanwhile, the Minister believes that Ukraine has high potential in terms of renewable energy development, namely the wind energy sector.
