One of these projects is still in its infancy (visualization options in the picture). The location is real, an existing canyon on the territory of Odesa obl., Ukraine.

We want to see solidarity in the actions of international organizations and donors. A sincere desire to help is not enough! A full-scale war has been going on in Ukraine for almost three years. However, local organizations are still in a position where they are forced to deal with the consequences of attacks on their territory and, at the same time, prove that they can be trusted and their proposals are worthy of attention. ?? Our first letter was an impetus to talk and discuss the problem, and we hope the second one will be an impetus to act. Therefore, we urge organizations to sign the letter. It is important for us to show that Ukrainian civil society is united and ready to defend its interests and propose solutions. If you agree with our appeals, please leave your signature and share it with your colleagues. A small step is better than no action ?? Link to the letter: https://surl.li/xtgfyp

Since 2022, Russia has been trying to destroy Ukraine by striking at its civilian infrastructure. Almost half of the #energy facilities have been damaged, which is roughly equal to the capacity of the power systems of Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia. According to our new report, Ukraine needs an estimated 17 GW of power to just survive this winter. Energy decentralization is crucial for transforming Ukraine's energy system in this challenging moment, enhancing sustainability, and securing electricity supply for all. Our latest report, “Challenges and opportunities for the development of distributed generation and microgrids in communities”, explores how #microgrids, smart grids, and cooperation with local System Service Operators can revolutionize local energy systems. Renewable energies and local microgrids offer benefits, such as economic opportunities and job creation for communities in rural areas by opening up new sources of income. Discover valuable insights and recommendations to help embrace microgrids and build a sustainable energy future - https://lnkd.in/eMrm_piu
