1. Overview
The Cherkasy region of Ukraine is witnessing significant growth in renewable energy, particularly in solar power. With a total portfolio capacity of 51.097MWdc, these projects contribute to Ukraine’s transition toward sustainable energy and its integration with the European electricity market. The projects, developed by KEYMAP.UA, focus on solar photovoltaic (PV) technology, offering clean energy solutions while fostering economic and environmental benefits.
2. Brief Description of the Projects / Technology / Other Specifics
The solar energy portfolio in Cherkasy consists of several large-scale PV power plants:
- CAN ENERGY LLC (9MWp-12MWdc) – Located in Gilmyaziv village, covering 21.269 hectares, with a 35kV grid connection and 3.4 km distance to the grid.
- QUATTRO ENERGY LLC (8.5MWp-11.117MWdc) – Situated in Balakleya village, split into two development phases, with a total site area of 16.7869 hectares and a 35kV grid connection.
- ROHAN ENERGY LLC (16MWp-21.33MWdc) – Positioned in Maidanetske village, covering 33.2777 hectares, with a 4 km distance to the grid.
- ROHAN ENERGY 2 LLC (5MWp-6.65MWdc) – Developed in Moshuriv village, spanning 10.1958 hectares, and connected to a 35kV network just 100 meters from the site.
Each project employs advanced ground-based solar technology and is equipped with essential permits, including land lease agreements, grid connection agreements, geodesy reports, and Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs). Some projects also benefit from Ukraine’s Green Tariff incentive at 135 EUR/MWh.
3. Advantages of the Project
