From nuclear legacy to renewables hub: plans advance at Chernobyl

For four decades, Chernobyl has stood as a symbol of catastrophic nuclear failure. Now, plans are underway to turn the site into a hub for renewable energy. In cooperation with Ukrainian authorities, ELQ and its Ukrainian subsidiary are developing proposals for solar parks, wind energy, large-scale battery storage, bioenergy, hydrogen and lithium-ion battery recycling within the Exclusion Zone.

The initiative builds on the infrastructure that once connected the former nuclear power plant to the Kyiv grid. The initial phase covers an assessment of on-site conditions and the identification of potential projects, with the second focused on developing those projects and securing financial partners. The signed memorandum outlines the framework but carries no binding commitments on specific investments. (HS)
