Greenpeace supports hospital in Chortkiv with solar power stations
A total of 150 solar panels obtained through the “Solar for Ukraine” competition will supply electricity to the maternity and infectious disease wards of the Chortkiv Central City Hospital in Ternopil region.
Installation and capacity
Two grid-connected solar power stations with a combined capacity of 50 kW have been launched in Chortkiv. The maternity ward station has a 30 kW capacity, and the infectious disease ward station has 20 kW. This is the first instance in Ukraine where women trained under the “Solar Power Plant Installer” program participated in installing municipal solar stations.
Funding and partnership
The hospital received 150 solar panels and inverters as a prize for winning the “Sun for Ukraine” competition, organized by Greenpeace Ukraine in collaboration with the German BIOHAUS-Stiftung foundation.
Expected benefits
- The two stations are expected to generate up to 50,000 kWh annually.
- The hospital will save more than 400,000 UAH yearly on electricity costs.
“We are proud to support Chortkiv — a city with a truly forward-looking mindset.”
