German energy company Notus Energy has signed a Memorandum with Ukraine’s Ministry of Environmental Protection and Natural Resources of Ukraine, the State Agency for Exclusion Zone Management and Ukrainian power company Ukrenergo on cooperation in wind energy development within the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone.
The Memorandum, signed on 11 September, aims to strengthen cooperation to “stimulate innovation, knowledge exchange, and the adoption of best practices in renewable energy,” which, in turn, is expected to contribute to the efficient use of the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone and the development of “new opportunities” for the sustainable growth of energy infrastructure, the Ukrainian Wind Energy Association said in a press release.
The document signing event was attended by Germany’s Minister of Foreign Affairs Annalena Baerbock who expressed support for the project and emphasised the importance and symbolism of wind energy development in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone.
Notus Energy is a member of the Ukrainian Wind Energy Association.
