In 2023, Private Printing House completed a large-scale eco-modernization project for its production facilities.
In cooperation with iSolar, the company successfully installed 367 solar panels on its premises.
Key figures:
- Total capacity: 152 kW
- Annual generation: 170 MWh/year
Useful facts:
- Solar energy generated will save 60 tons of coal.
- This prevents the release of 150 tons of carbon dioxide ($CO_2$).
- Significant savings of other energy sources for the state (hydro, nuclear, etc.).
- An important step towards European standards, which currently emphasize reducing atmospheric emissions.
Thanks to this project, we were able to accomplish two of the most important tasks:
- Solved the problem of self-generation of energy, which will provide energy independence from the central supply.
- Made a significant contribution to saving conventional energy sources such as oil, gas, coal, and wood.
It is no secret that our country is currently experiencing a shortage of electricity. Therefore, this step helps the state redirect the freed-up energy to other critical needs.
Green Energy: Ukraine and the World
According to statistics, EU countries increased their solar energy production by 24% last year alone, reaching 203 terawatt-hours. Thus, for the first time, green energy outperformed conventional coal generation: 22% compared to 20%. This saved approximately €10 billion on gas purchases. Germany, Spain, and Poland became the leaders in renewable energy development.
Until recently, Ukraine had been developing its green energy sector at a record pace: in 2019, it ranked among the Top 10 countries globally, and in 2020, among the Top 5 in Europe. By early 2022, the private sector alone generated 1.2 GW of solar power.
Unfortunately, the pace has slowed down recently due to obvious reasons. Private Printing House is doing everything possible to help our country regain its leadership in solar energy. For the next season, we plan to double our green energy generation capacity.
Thanks to these innovations, the company will increase its autonomy, save essential resources, and protect the environment.
