Ukraine Deploys ~1.5 GW of Solar in 2025, Accelerating Battery
In 2025 Ukraine deployed around 1.5 GW of new solar capacity driven by strong interest in co-located battery energy storage systems. BasenPower breaks down the key drivers, policy
“Solar power plants can help Ukrainian society,” Sokolovskyi says, by giving energy independence to private citizens and businesses. Moreover, support for critical infrastructure like hospitals, clinics and schools – the kind of work Semenyshyn's Repower Ukraine does – often comes from PV and energy storage combined.
Figures from the Solar Energy Association of Ukraine (SEAU) earlier this year showed that the country added around 850MW of solar PV capacity in 2024, the majority of which came from self-consumption systems installed by businesses. It's “become a trend”, Semenyshyn says.
Following three years of bombardments and damage to its energy infrastructure, Ukrainian businesses are turning to self-consumption solar PV systems to keep the lights on.
Energy has been a major target for Russian drones and missiles throughout the war, with an intensification from the spring of 2024; at the time of writing, news broke overnight that Moscow had carried out a “massive” missile attack on Ukrainian energy infrastructure.
