The Spanish renewable energy company Acciona has announced it has reached agreement with Ukrainian firm UDP Renewables (UDPR) to build two PV plants near Odessa, south-western Ukraine. As part of the agreement, Acciona will take over 75 per cent of the projects developed by UDPR.

The new PV plants will consist of the 26 MW Gudzovka and the 17.7 MW Arcyz plants, which will require an estimated investment of €30.6 million. Both the facilities will be equipped with polycrystalline silicon panels mounted on fixed structures.

Construction will begin shortly. Work is scheduled to be completed by the end of this year. The energy generated will be sold to the national grid under a PPA until the end of 2029.

Joaquín Castillo, Energy Business Development Director for Acciona, said: “We are very pleased to continue contributing to the development of renewable energies and the sustainability of the energy system of Ukraine, a country with interesting opportunities for the sector.”
