KYIV, March 19 - Tractebel Engineering from ENGIE Group in a preliminary feasibility study for building a ground solar power plant with a capacity of 1.2 GW in the exclusion zone around Chornobyl nuclear power plant (NPP) offers a modular concept of building eight 150 MW substations.

"We understand that the north of Kyiv region is not the best location for solar plants, but this is the area that needs this project. Tractebel Engineering's conclusion about this project is rather cautious: the construction of solar plants is possible," Head of the State Agency of Ukraine on Exclusion Zone Management Vitaliy Petruk said, when presenting the feasibility study in Kyiv.
