KYIV, Aug 2 - UDP Renewables, part of UFuture Group of wealthy entrepreneur Vasyl Khmelnytsky, built a solar power plant with an installed capacity of 18 MW in Kherson region, the businessman said on his Facebook page.

"UDP Renewables has built an 18 MW solar plant in Rykove (Kherson region). Considering the fact that the Kherson sun is much more efficient than in Kyiv, we plan to fully pay back the investment ($18 million) in five or six years. The station will be connected in a few months," he wrote.
