A Biohaus Foundation truck packed with solar modules and batteries is due to leave Paderborn for five sites across Ukraine. Among them are hospitals in Kyiv, Sumy and Trostianets, which will need power they can rely on as winter approaches.
Four decades on, Chernobyl looms large in Ukraine’s energy reality, as exposed nuclear plants and grid risks drive solar and battery deployment to keep critical infrastructure running. Expansion depends on continued support.
One week after Easter, another truck transporting solar equipment is on its way to war-affected Ukraine, bound for two hospitals awaiting backup power systems. The appeal remains open and support is urgently needed.
Biohaus Foundation: After just over a week on the road, solar equipment has arrived at a hospital in Kamianets-Podilskyi. Funding is now needed to equip at least a dozen more hospitals this year.
Ukraine: At the beginning of March, Willi Ernst from the Biohaus Foundation personally helped load the truck with a forklift to help send off the latest shipment. The aid project is gaining momentum, but every euro in donations is still urgently needed.
In war-stricken Ukraine, more than 100 hospitals are waiting for urgently required modules, inverters and energy storage systems. In many cases, this support is a matter of life and death. Every euro and every kilowatt makes a difference.
Together with the city of Trostianets and Green Planet Energy, the environmental organisation has completed a sustainable heating pilot that could serve as a model for hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian homes.
The two parties signed a memorandum of understanding, establishing their commitment to fast-track solar installations across Ukraine amid the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine.
