Empowering Ukraine through Alternative Energy Sources

Since 2022, Russia has systematically targeted the country’s energy infrastructure, depriving Ukraine of roughly two‑thirds of its pre‑war electricity generation capacity and heavily damaging critical transmission systems nationwide.

The result is simple and devastating: prolonged blackouts, disrupted water supply, and limited access to healthcare. Energy, in this environment, determines whether essential systems continue to function or break down under pressure.

At Nova Ukraine, we focus on reducing that dependence on unstable systems by helping critical infrastructure operate independently, ensuring that the services people rely on every day continue working, even when the grid does not.

We install solar power systems that communities rely on every day: hospitals, water systems, schools, and other critical infrastructure. So that they can continue operating independently, even when the grid goes down.

Each installation is designed around the specific needs of the facility and may function either as a standalone solar solution or as a complete system combining solar panels, battery storage, and inverters to generate, distribute, and, when needed, store energy for use exactly when it matters most.

These systems support:

• Backup power systems that keep hospitals operational during outages
• Solar energy installations that reduce dependence on fragile grids
• Water systems that continue delivering clean water even when the central supply fails
• Rapid-response solutions are deployed where needs are most urgent

At the same time, water systems supported through our projects provide more than 90,000 liters of clean water daily, reinforcing how energy resilience directly translates into community resilience.

Nova Ukraine has installed more than 229 kW of solar capacity, supporting a growing network of facilities that can now operate autonomously when needed.

Across Ukraine, BUILD projects are protecting lives and restoring essential services. Here are several examples of how these systems are supporting communities on the ground:

• A multidisciplinary hospital in the Odesa region now provides uninterrupted care with the support of a 40 kW solar system
• A veterans’ hospital in Mykolai with a 30 kW solar system with battery storage ensures critical areas remain powered at all times
• A children’s hospital in Kharkiv continues serving more than 10,000 young patients annually, supported by stable energy access
• Solar-powered wells and water systems support communities in near-frontline regions like Kherson, where reliable water access depends directly on energy availability

Why Solar

Solar energy offers a combination of reliability, independence, and sustainability that is uniquely suited to the current reality in Ukraine.

It reduces dependence on unstable grids and fuel supply chains, lowers long-term operating costs, and decentralizes energy generation to minimize single points of failure. In a context where infrastructure is repeatedly targeted, this decentralization is essential.

How We Work

Our approach reflects a clear principle: resilience must be built intentionally. We prioritize projects where power loss directly threatens life and health, ensuring that resources are directed where they have the most immediate and meaningful impact.

Nova Ukraine partners closely with Ukrainian institutions, engineers, and local teams, ensuring that each project strengthens local capacity rather than replacing it.

And we BUILD with the long-term vision in mind, creating infrastructure that is more durable, more decentralized, and better suited to withstand ongoing disruption and support rebuilding.
