Pursuing a long-term strategy, Ukraine has finalized construction of a new solar energy power station in Crimea. Being highly dependent on imported energy resources, the country puts a lot of efforts to make the internal energy production and consumption more efficient. The newly built solar plant is also a part of the National Projects, aimed at lessening the imported energy consumption by 30 percent by year 2015. The construction of the solar power plant capable of producing 25 thousand megawatt-hours of environmentally clean electrical energy per year has been accomplished in accordance with Nature Energy project. Such capacity will meet the needs of about 5000 households in the area and will help reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 20 thousand tons per year. Read the report here.
