[JACK AYLMER]
BUILDING WIND FARMS CAN HELP WIN A WAR.
AT LEAST, UKRAINE’S LARGEST PRIVATE ENERGY FIRM THINKS SO.
SAYING THE ENERGY SOURCE COULD BE A GAME CHANGER IN THEIR ONGOING CONFLICT WITH RUSSIA.
BUT FINDING INVESTORS WILLING TO FUND THE CONSTRUCTION IN A WAR-TORN NATION HAS BEEN CHALLENGING.
SINCE THE WAR STARTED, 90 PERCENT OF UKRAINE’S WIND ENERGY FARMS HAVE BEEN EITHER DISABLED OR OCCUPIED BY RUSSIAN FORCES.
THE COUNTRY’S ENERGY SECTOR HAS CONTINUED TO TAKE HITS.
TOTALING, ABOUT TWELVE BILLION DOLLARS IN DAMAGES.
IT’S A MAJOR REASON WHY UKRAINIAN OFFICIALS ARE NOW ASKING THE E.U. TO HELP FUND THE CONSTRUCTION AND REPAIR OF CLEAN ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE.
THE EUROPEAN GOVERNING BODY HAS ALREADY CONTRIBUTED NEARLY A BILLION DOLLARS TO THIS EFFORT SINCE 20-22.
UKRAINIAN OFFICIALS SAY IT’LL TAKE ABOUT 300 MILLION DOLLARS AND UPWARDS OF EIGHT MONTHS OF WORK TO COMPLETE THE NECESSARY WORK.
UKRAINE SAYS RUSSIA’S…
