Cases of recently installed photovoltaic energy facilities at objects of critical infrastructure have shown the potential of photovoltaics to provide a resilient energy source for years to come. Much more renewable energy equipment is necessary to scale up renewable energy production in Ukrainian communities and cities.
Еxperts and civil society organisations are calling for diverse and alternative solutions such as renewable sources, particularly solar electricity, to be introduced as part of the emergency solution for critical infrastructure in the next one to two years with the goals of providing an emergency electricity supply throughout 2023 and contributing to more decentralised energy production and resilience based on sustainable and climate neutral technologies.
