September 1 registration opens for Solar Step — a free training course for women launched by the Ukrainian Energy Act for Ukraine Foundation. The program is made possible with the support of Mercy Corps in partnership with KSE Graduate Business School. Its main goal is to strengthen the workforce potential of the solar energy sector and provide women with opportunities for professional growth in this field.

The Ukrainian charitable organization Energy Act for Ukraine Foundation has conducted the first nationwide study, “Barriers and challenges women face in transitioning to the solar energy sector.” Its findings dispel persistent stereotypes about the industry and knowledge surrounding it, while highlighting that barriers for women still remain.

The Energy Act for Ukraine Foundation is launching a partnership with the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC), supported by Norway. The collaboration will provide a medical facility in southern Ukraine with a modern hybrid solar power station.
