THE FULL STORY
Energy Act for Ukraine Foundation is a charitable organization founded in 2022 that builds Ukraine’s capacity in green energy. Our experience of delivering 36 solar projects for schools, hospitals, and water utilities during the war has given us unique technical expertise — and we now pass this expertise on through our flagship platform, Solar Step. We teach people how to manage green energy projects, remove barriers to entering the sector, open pathways to employment, and prepare people to contribute to rebuilding Ukraine’s energy resilience. Behind every educational program we run is hands-on experience from real projects
Energy Act for Ukraine Foundation helps children get a comfortable school education even during electricity outages and provides solar decisions to hospitals so people can get their medical care even in case of blackouts. Among our core values are accessibility to education and healthcare, energy independence, climate change response, and green energy education empowerment.

MEET THE TEAM
I have devoted most of my professional career to promoting clean energy. As a former manager of international relations at the largest private energy company in Ukraine, I was responsible for developing partnerships to facilitate the clean energy transition in Ukraine.
Three years ago I created a solar power plant to gain energy independence and provide clean, pure energy for my homeland. During this dark time for my country, I established the Energy Act of Ukraine foundation as a response to the war in Ukraine. I believe, together we could bring light to Ukrainian families.
If you are looking for a reliable way to help Ukrainians stay connected, protect their energy independence, and support green energy development in Ukraine — let’s work together.
