What RePower Ukraine Charitable Foundation does

RePower Ukraine Charitable Foundation is a Kyiv-based non-profit established in late 2022 that equips Ukrainian hospitals and municipal infrastructure with photovoltaic solar power systems combined with battery energy storage. Its core product is a behind-the-meter PV-plus-battery installation sized to critical loads at healthcare facilities and water supply units, designed to maintain operations during grid disruptions caused by the war. The foundation has delivered 11 hospital systems and 2 water-supply systems across 8 Ukrainian regions, and runs supplementary programs in backup-equipment supply, solar mapping, training for veterans and internally displaced persons, and youth education.

The foundation operates a donation- and grant-funded business model rather than a commercial one. It has no end-user pricing model and does not generate revenue from the electricity produced; instead, capital equipment, installation services, and program operations are funded by international institutional donors and corporate partners. Named funders and partners include GIZ (acting on behalf of BMWK), Mercy Corps, the European Climate Foundation, SolarPower Europe, BSW, BayWa r.e., SMA, and JinkoSolar, alongside the broader "Solar Supports Ukraine" industry coalition.

The organization is small, with 7 employees, and is led by Director Yaroslava Denisova. It is verified by the Philanthropy in Ukraine platform. In addition to direct installations, RePower runs a community grant program offering up to UAH 5 million per applicant for renewable energy projects and participates as one of four cooperating organizations in a 16-pilot-community "Renewable Energy Sources for Sustainable Ukraine" program, positioning it as both a direct implementer and a co-financing platform for local energy-resilience initiatives.

Core offering

RePower Ukraine Charitable Foundation installs photovoltaic (PV) solar power systems with battery energy storage at Ukrainian hospitals, municipal water supply enterprises, and critical infrastructure affected by war-related grid disruptions. The foundation also supplies portable energy backup equipment, delivers solar installer training for veterans and internally displaced persons, runs renewable energy educational courses for youth, and provides grant funding plus solar potential assessments to support municipalities transitioning to solar energy.

Product overview

RePower Ukraine Charitable Foundation operates as a charitable organization providing renewable energy solutions rather than a unified software product. Its service portfolio consists of: (1) Solar Power Plant Installation for Hospitals - installing photovoltaic systems with battery storage at healthcare facilities; (2) Energy Backup Equipment Supply - providing generators, portable power stations, and batteries; (3) Solar Power Plant Installer Training - professional certification courses for veterans and displaced persons; (4) Solar Education Initiatives for Youth - educational programs for teenagers; (5) Solar Potential Assessment Services - solar mapping and analysis for municipalities; (6) Grant Program for Municipal Solar Transition - financial grants up to UAH 5 million for municipalities; and (7) Renewable Energy Transition Concepts - strategic planning for community energy transitions. The organization focuses on providing emergency power solutions and promoting Ukraine's green energy transformation through hardware installations and educational programs.
