Two new solar power stations have begun operating at the Chortkiv Central City Hospital in the Ternopil region. They will supply electricity to the maternity and infectious disease wards, significantly reducing energy expenses.
The hospital received a total of 150 solar panels and inverters as a prize in the “Solar for Ukraine” competition. The project was organized by Greenpeace Ukraine in partnership with the German foundation BIOHAUS-Stiftung.
This marks the first time in Ukraine that women trained under the “Solar Power Plant Installer” program have taken part in building municipal solar stations.
“We are proud to support Chortkiv — a city with a truly forward-looking mindset,” said Greenpeace representatives.
