Vlasne Misto, E-HUB Energy to create decentralised energy island near Kyiv; 1st phase to attract EUR 75 mln in investment
The Ukrainian project "Vlasne Misto" and the Polish technology company E-HUB Energy signed a memorandum of strategic partnership at ReBuild Ukraine in Warsaw to create "Vlasne Energy," a decentralized energy island with an investment potential of approximately EUR 75 million in the initial stages, founder and CEO of Vlasne Misto Yaroslav Korniiachenko told Interfax-Ukraine.
Ukrainian developer Vlasne Misto and Polish firm E-HUB Energy have formed a strategic partnership to construct a decentralized energy island near Kyiv, with an initial investment of around EUR 75 million. The energy system will integrate solar, wind, and biomethane-based power generation, alongside industrial battery energy storage systems and smart grid management.
Founder and CEO Yaroslav Korniiachenko emphasized that Vlasne Misto aims to create a balanced energy ecosystem rather than merely installing solar panels and batteries. The first phase of the project, scheduled for 2027, will involve a 15 MW solar power plant and 15 MW of battery storage capacity. Subsequent phases will focus on wind power and biomethane integration.
The strategic location, just seven kilometers from Kyiv within the capital's energy influence zone, will help reduce consumers' dependence on individual transmission hubs and enhance the resilience of the power grid. The project's potential to generate up to 440 GWh of electricity annually could power the Vlasne Misto development, the nearby Dmytrivska community, and support the power grid of the Kyiv region.
