Ukraine2Power has completed the installation of energy storage systems for educational institutions in Ukraine’s Sumy region, an area that faces regular attacks and frequent power disruptions.

In the city of Konotop, energy storage systems were installed in six school buildings. In practice, this means five schools, one of which consists of two separate buildings.

Due to frequent air raid alerts, classes are often held in shelters rather than in regular classrooms. Ensuring a reliable power supply for these shelters, where students and teachers spend significant amounts of time, was therefore one of the project’s key objectives.

The newly installed systems help maintain lighting, basic equipment, and selected learning spaces even during power outages. Each school is equipped with battery systems of approximately 40 kWh, providing backup power for critical infrastructure.

In addition, an energy storage system was installed at a kindergarten in the village of Chupakhivka.

The system includes a 20 kW high-voltage inverter and a 100 kWh battery storage unit. It is capable of covering the energy needs of the entire kindergarten, including the kitchen.

Reliable electricity is particularly important for this facility. Children are transported to the kindergarten by bus from surrounding communities, and there is no centralized catering service. All meals are prepared on site.

Thanks to the new system, the kindergarten can continue operating during power outages, ensuring that children have access to light, warmth, and hot meals.

This project demonstrates how decentralized energy storage solutions can rapidly strengthen the resilience of educational institutions in regions close to the frontline.

Ukraine2Power continues to develop and implement similar solutions to help communities across Ukraine keep critical infrastructure operating even during periods of energy instability.
