The construction is planned to be completed and the facility put into operation in January 2026.

The financing provided by Oschadbank is for a period of seven years.

"These are the same 'long-term' funds for new construction that the economy needs. I am glad that more and more of these investment projects are being implemented," said Yuriy Kation, Deputy Chairman of the Board of Oschadbank.

Helios Strategia emphasized that the implementation of the project confirms the technical capabilities of Ukrainian companies to implement complex infrastructure solutions.

The international engineering group Helios Strategia specializes in EPC solar energy projects and the implementation of UZE solutions for the industrial and commercial sectors. The total capacity of solar power plant projects in which the group has participated reaches 1.2 GW. The group's other facilities are located mainly in the Dnipropetrovsk region, as well as in the Odessa and Mykolaiv regions.

In the first half of 2025, the state-owned Oschadbank concluded loan agreements with large corporate businesses for energy projects worth 87 million euros. This is almost twice as much as for the entire 2024 year.

While in 2024, 70% of the projects financed by the bank were gas-powered generation, in 2025, 50% of the projects will be energy storage facilities, and 40% will be wind power generation.

At the end of May 2025, DTEK borrowed 3 billion hryvnias (67 million euros) to build electricity storage systems . The project will be financed by a consortium of Ukrainian banks (Oschadbank, PUMB, Ukrgazbank).
