We applaud the essential and timely message of the President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen followed by 10 concrete actions, proposed by IEA, to repair, connect and stabilise the energy sector of Ukraine. We appreciate the fact that solar PV has been included in IEA actions as action No. 3 as well as adequately reflected in the priorities of the President of the European Commission. Needless to say, solar power plants as decentralized electricity generation option are the most resilient solution to ensure emergency supply as well as long-term solution for the electricity generation of Ukraine. Of course, it is not a silver bullet, but for sure at least a no regret measure.
On behalf of the EU PV module producers we would like to responsibly confirm that in the EU PV producers warehouses there are enough PV modules to react quickly and deliver almost one million of PV modules to Ukraine where it is mostly needed, to hospitals, schools and any other energy and socially critical infrastructure. Together with the European Commission and the Member States we must quickly establish appropriate financial and logistical framework for the smooth delivery and installation of PV modules in Ukraine before the winter. In case the respective framework would be effective, 21 hospitals would be just the beginning.
