ENERGY ACT FOR UKRAINE FOUNDATION
Since the start of russia’s full-scale invasion, Odesa Region has been regularly targeted by massive missile and drone attacks, leading to prolonged power outages and disruptions to critical social infrastructure. In these conditions, reliable access to electricity for educational institutions has become essential.
Krasnosilskе Lyceum is a central educational hub for the local community, serving children from Krasnosilka and surrounding settlements. To ensure continuity of the learning process even during scheduled and emergency blackouts, the Energy Act for Ukraine Foundation installed a hybrid solar power station at the lyceum, combining on-site generation with an energy storage system.
The 30 kW solar power station, equipped with a 61 kWh energy storage system, enables the school to operate autonomously for 4–5 hours even during a complete blackout.
Beyond strengthening energy security, the project delivers annual electricity cost savings of approximately €9,000 and contributes to preventing 405.4 t of CO2 emissions over a 25-year period.
Funding for the project was raised during a charity dinner held at Enlit Europe in Milan. The initiative was supported by Enlit Europe, Kraken and Octopus Energy, a company that actively promotes the deployment of renewable energy solutions and energy storage systems for schools and hospitals across Ukraine.
The campaign was implemented as part of the Foundation’s “100 Solar Schools” project, aimed at strengthening community energy resilience during the war and throughout Ukraine’s recovery.
The solar power station supplies electricity to the entire school, with the exception of the kitchen facilities.
