The City Council of Ochakiv, small city in the Mykolaiv region of southern Ukraine, has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Turkish solar and renewable energy project developer Eko Yenilenebilir Enerjiler A.S. (EkoRE) for the construction of a 15 MW PV power plant within the city’s boundaries.
According to a press release from the Mykolaiv State Region Administration, the company is also planning to finance the construction of several PV systems on local public buildings such as schools and kindergartens, among others.
The project, the city council stressed, will be built on a 23-hectare (ha) plot and will have access to Ukraine’s FIT scheme for large-scale solar, while the smaller projects would likely be developed under net metering.
