A solar power plant was launched at another hospital in Mykolaiv region

A new hybrid solar power plant has been completed and launched at one of the key medical facilities in the Mykolaiv region. The project was implemented in 2025 as part of the "50 Solar Hospitals" initiative.

This medical facility saves not only local residents but also patients from other regions. Under the extremely difficult conditions of war, the doctors bring people back to life every day — and now they have a reliable source of energy.

"The people working in this cardiology unit are pure gold — they deserve a bow every day! Both doctors and staff — they bring people back to life," said patient Tetyana.

A total of 120 solar panels with a capacity of 50 kW have been installed on the hospital's roof. The solar station also includes inverters and an energy storage system with a capacity of 87 kWh. This ensures autonomous power supply for up to 4 hours in the event of a blackout. The estimated annual electricity savings amount to approximately €10,700.

The solar power plant ensures uninterrupted operation of the following departments:

• cardiology (with intensive care units);

• neurology (with intensive care units);

• gastroenterology;

• intensive care unit.

"This solar station has secured the continuous operation of several critically important departments during possible blackouts. We’ve seen what the enemy is capable of, and this support is crucial both in summer and winter. Our surgeons, neurologists, cardiologists, and gastroenterologists can now work without forced interruptions, and intensive care patients can continue receiving treatment. We sincerely thank the Energy Act for Ukraine Foundation for supporting one of the largest hospitals in front-line Mykolaiv region!" — said the hospital director.

Dr. Juliane Brandes made a personal financial contribution to the construction of the station. Dr. Juliane Brandes, based in Berlin, has worked many years as a doctor in various hospitals in Germany and Switzerland. She has been interested in Eastern Europe for many years, especially Ukraine, which she visited extensively in the past, and is deeply moved by the terrible situation today. Hospitals without electricity are unimaginable for her, so that she wanted to contribute with her donation for the Mykolajiv hospital, through the Energy Act for Ukraine Foundation.

The "50 Solar Hospitals" initiative was implemented at this Mykolaiv healthcare facility in 2025 with the support of the Green Deal Ukraine project.

Octopus Energy is a partner of the foundation, supporting the installation of renewable energy and storage systems in schools and hospitals across Ukraine.
