The Agro-Region Group of Companies celebrates two years since the launch of its first solar power plant. Today, three facilities with a total capacity of 142 kW are in operation, each demonstrating its own strengths in terms of efficiency, payback period, and technical approach. The company\u2019s Chief Power Engineer, Maksym Rudniev, shared the results.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cAll three stations turned out to be different \u2014 in capacity, configuration, and operation approach. But each of them is efficient in its own way,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n

 <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Thanks to the use of solar power plants, Agro-Region now covers from 25% to 50% of its annual electricity consumption, depending on the facility and season. The Kyiv cluster office shows the highest level of autonomy \u2014 on average 35% per year and up to 50% during the sunny period (May\u2013August).<\/p>\n

\u201cThis means that half of all the electricity consumed by the office is generated by the solar plant,\u201d adds Rudniev.<\/p>\n

 <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Notably, the station that generated over 61,500 kWh<\/strong> last year has already reached 74,364 kWh<\/strong> in 2025, confirming the positive trend in project performance.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The company has also successfully implemented a battery storage system at the Myropol elevator. Thanks to this hybrid setup, average energy autonomy is 30%, and in the summer period \u2014 up to 44%.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cWe conducted a real test \u2014 completely disconnected the power supply, and the office continued to operate thanks to the battery. Everything worked perfectly,\u201d says the Chief Power Engineer.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Boryspil elevator solar station provides about 25% of annual consumption, and up to 33% during peak generation months.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Agro-Region continues to move forward in the field of renewable energy. One of the next steps is to connect its solar plants to the national grid to sell surplus electricity under the Net Billing system.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a new model for Ukraine, and there\u2019s still no well-established mechanism for its implementation, but we\u2019re actively working on it. We already have a clear action plan. We sell our surplus electricity to our current supplier at a discounted rate and receive a discount on the electricity we consume in return. This allows us to reduce costs automatically,\u201d explains Rudniev.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

Through this mechanism, the company plans to install additional generation and storage facilities in the future and sell electricity during peak demand hours \u2014 thus increasing the overall economic efficiency of its investments.<\/p>\n
