Position Paper “Investments in Renewable Energy Projects for Municipal Utilities (Water Supply Systems)”

This position is addressed to investors, grant providers, and partners, aiming to highlight the importance of investing in renewable energy sources (RES), particularly solar power plants, to ensure stable electricity supply for water utilities. Solar power plants provide energy independence and economic stability, even during wartime.

Water utilities are critical infrastructure, especially in crisis situations. In the context of war, cities such as Sumy, where infrastructure is frequently damaged by Russian shelling, face significant difficulties with water supply, often requiring costly mobile reservoirs. In order to ensure reliability and stability of water supply, new solutions are required, those that reduce costs and increase autonomy.
