Kiev intends to focus on wind projects in Chernobyl

Ukraine's government has supported the proposal made by the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources to develop Chernobyl's exclusion zone as a territory for changes and innovations. In particular, Kiev took the course of applying wind-power technologies in Chernobyl.

Importantly, the area still has the infrastructure required for delivering large amounts of energy because transmission lines from the old nuclear reactor remain in place. Also, the area still has personnel with training in generating and distributing electricity.

According to ecology minister Ostap Semerak, the Chernobyl zone has a high level of investment attractiveness. This fact is proved by investors from Denmark, China, Germany, France and Byelorussia, among others. More than 60 applications for the allocation of land parcels in the exclusion zone to implement renewable energy projects have been submitted over the course of two years.
