"Met with representatives of the Turkish company Atlas Global Energy today. Discussed prospects for cooperation and the implementation of a project in the region with the company's technical director in Ukraine. We are confident that the new wind farm project will become yet another example of our productive cooperation," he said.
Zhytomyr region is home to a number of alternative energy projects, including solar, hydropower, and biofuel power plants, whose aggregate design capacity is over 240 MW, and some 60% of boiler houses in the region use alternative fuel, Bunechko said.
He described plans to build wind farms as "a logical development of this track."
Before the crisis, Zhytomyr region was ranked first in Ukraine on the Doing Business report, and none of the major investors has left it since, Bunechko said.
Atlas Global Energy introduces itself on its website as a renewable energy development company operating in Ukraine since 2016 with a portfolio of 300 MW+ wind and photovoltaic projects, including, in particular, a 60 MW wind project in the Lviv region.
