We are pleased to announce that the installation of a hybrid solar power plant at the Lyceum in Lyutizh has been successfully completed! This is an important event for the school, which has a rich history dating back to 1927. The lyceum has survived many challenges, including World War II and the fighting during the Russian aggression, and continues its important educational mission. Currently, 552 students study here.
The Lyceum was one of the first institutions our team visited after the de-occupation of Kyiv region. The fighting was taking place just four kilometres from the school. As a result of the shelling, the lyceum building was damaged: the facade was damaged by shrapnel, windows and doors were smashed, and significant cracks appeared in the walls. During the active hostilities, local residents also used the school shelter as a place to live.
So in September, to increase the school's energy independence and ensure a stable educational process even during blackouts, our Energy Act for Ukraine Foundation installed a hybrid solar station on the roof of the lyceum. It consists of:
114 solar panels with a total capacity of 50 kW,
a 41.6 kWh energy storage system
a 50 kW hybrid inverter.
This support is part of the efforts to restore and strengthen resilience in Ukraine as part of the German government's implementation programmes, such as the Stabilisation Platform and GIZ Renewables for Resilient Ukraine (R2U).
Octopus Energy is also a partner of our foundation in this project, supporting initiatives to install renewable energy systems and energy storage systems in schools and hospitals across Ukraine.
The Lyceum project is part of our 100SolarSchools campaign, which aims to ensure uninterrupted power supply to the school during outages, thus ensuring the continuity of the learning process.
