Greenpeace Supports Hospital in Chortkiv: Women Install Two Solar Power Stations in Ternopil Region
In Chortkiv, Ternopil region, two grid-connected solar power stations with a combined capacity of 50 kW have started operating at the Central City Hospital. The new systems will supply clean electricity to the maternity and infectious disease wards.
The hospital received 150 solar panels and their inverters after winning the “Solar for Ukraine” competition, organized by Greenpeace Ukraine in partnership with the German foundation BIOHAUS-Stiftung. These installations mark the first case in Ukraine where women trained through the “Solar Power Plant Installer” program took part in setting up municipal solar stations.
According to project estimates, the stations will generate around 50,000 kWh per year and help the hospital save approximately 400,000 UAH annually on electricity costs.
“We are proud to support Chortkiv — a city with a truly forward-looking mindset.”
