The installations have been delivered to medical facilities in Boyarka and Brovary (Kyiv region) and Cherkasy. These communities received energy support from Germany as part of the “Sun for Ukraine” initiative.

The “Sun for Ukraine” project has been strengthening the energy independence of Ukrainian hospitals for the second year in a row. In 2025, 13 hospitals received equipment, and four have already installed solar power plants. Hospitals are critical infrastructure that must always have access to electricity—even during blackouts, shelling, and shortages in the national grid. Patients’ health and lives depend on it, notes Illya Kuksenko, Junior Campaigner at Greenpeace Ukraine.

“After the winter of 2026, when Ukraine’s energy system once again came under massive attacks, we were once again reminded how critically important it is to support hospitals. Solar power plants are not only about climate—they are прежде всего about people’s safety and the stable operation of medical facilities in the most difficult moments,” says Illya Kuksenko. “To a large extent, ‘Sun for Ukraine’ is a humanitarian project, and for Greenpeace it is both a great responsibility and an honor to implement it together with our reliable German partners, BIOHAUS-Stiftung.”

The first communities to receive solar support in 2026 were: the Municipal Non-Profit Enterprise “Intensive Care Hospital of the Boyarka City Council,” which received a 57 kW hybrid solar power plant; the Brovary Multidisciplinary Clinical Hospital, which received a 49 kW hybrid system with energy storage; and the Municipal Non-Profit Enterprise “Third Cherkasy City Emergency Hospital,” which received solar panels with a capacity of 75 kW.

Local communities emphasize that solar energy will not only improve the reliability of hospital operations but also significantly reduce electricity costs. The savings are planned to be reinvested into medical equipment, medicines, and improved conditions for patients.

The “Sun for Ukraine” project is part of a broader green recovery approach, aimed at increasing the energy resilience of communities and expanding renewable energy. Installing solar power plants on critical infrastructure is one of the practical steps toward this goal.

Greenpeace Ukraine continues to expand the program so that more hospitals across the country can gain access to clean and reliable energy.
