Amidst the major challenges facing Ukraine’s energy system, small and micro hydropower plants (HPPs) are proving their strategic importance. These facilities provide clean, stable, and localized energy, which not only reduces reliance on fossil fuels but also contributes to the decentralization of power supply — a critical factor during wartime and limited access to centralized generation.
Decentralization = Stability
Small hydropower plants have the ability to respond quickly to load changes and can supply entire communities with electricity, even during emergency outages. Their geographic distribution helps minimize grid losses and reduce pressure on main transmission lines. As a result, they play a key role in building a resilient and adaptive energy system for the future.
8 Small HPPs in Energoinvest’s Portfolio
Energoinvest operates 8 small hydropower plants with a total capacity of over 3.5 MW across several regions of Ukraine. These facilities are strategically located to efficiently harness local water resources without harming the surrounding ecosystems.
The company’s HPPs provide reliable electricity to a wide range of consumers, including critical infrastructure, farms, and households.
Environmental Advantages
Unlike traditional coal or gas-based power generation, small HPPs do not produce harmful emissions, do not require imported fuel, and have an extremely low carbon footprint. Furthermore, their operation is less dependent on weather conditions compared to solar or wind energy, making them a dependable component of a green energy system.
Energoinvest continues to invest in a sustainable, clean, and modern energy future. We believe that small hydropower is not a thing of the past, but rather a technological cornerstone of Ukraine’s regional energy transformation.
