    Sustainability & Environmental Impact

    The project reduces hospitals' reliance on non-renewable energy by integrating solar power, contributing to a cleaner and more sustainable energy future. This supports Ukraine's energy independence and aligns with global environmental goals, reducing carbon emissions in healthcare facilities and promoting greener infrastructure.

    Energy Security & Resilience

    Providing hospitals with a stable, uninterrupted power supply ensures the continued operation of critical healthcare functions, especially vital medical equipment, during wartime disruptions. By generating solar power, hospitals can safeguard their operations even when the national grid is unreliable, enhancing their resilience and the safety of patients. The ability to maintain a stable energy supply is crucial during emergencies, enabling hospitals to provide life-saving services when needed most.
     

    Cost Efficiency & Economic Impact

    By producing their own energy, hospitals can lower electricity costs, allowing them to redirect funds toward improving patient care, acquiring medical supplies, and healthcare services.


    The "Ray of Hope" initiative brings numerous benefits for healthcare facilities in Ukraine, ensuring their operational continuity and long-term sustainability. Its impact spans environmental, economic, and social dimensions, making it an essential project for a resilient healthcare system. By supporting hospitals with clean, renewable energy, this initiative not only ensures vital healthcare services remain available but also strengthens the future of Ukraine's healthcare infrastructure.
     

  • Project implementation

    Project implementation

    1 STEP: Request for support

    An eligible Ukrainian healthcare facility can request support from the Fund via the Ministry of Health of Ukraine, which prioritizes, and forwards approved requests to the Ministry of Energy for further evaluation and funding.

    2 STEP: Procurement

    Upon approval by the Ministry of Energy, tenders for implementing the approved viable projects are initiated. Our project manager, Urban Technology Alliance LP, manages the selection of the EPC Contractor and oversees contract negotiations, while the Secretariat, as the Fund manager, ensures payment for the services. Contracts are signed directly between the EPC Contractor and the Ukrainian healthcare facility.
     

    3 STEP: Installation

    The installation of the photovoltaic power plant and the arrangement of an autonomous uninterrupted power supply system is performed by the selected EPC contractor, overseen and coordinated by the project manager, and is subject to verification by the Energy Community Secretariat.

    4 STEP: Disbursement

    The Energy Community Secretariat, as the fiduciary of the Fund, disburses the funds directly to the EPC Contractor, in accordance with the contract terms.

  • Tenders

    Tenders

    The Energy Community Secretariat, in collaboration with project manager Urban Technology Alliance LP, invites companies to participate in tenders for renewable energy projects aimed at enhancing energy resilience in Ukraine's healthcare facilities. These projects focus on installing photovoltaic power plants and autonomous power supply systems to ensure continuous operations even in challenging circumstances.
