Ukraine's Top Mobile Operator Bets $81M on Sun to Cut Grid Dependence

Kyivstar has acquired six solar power plants in the Lviv region for Hr.3.6 billion ($80.8 million), lifting its total renewable energy portfolio to 118 MW, enough to cover roughly 30% of the company’s annual electricity consumption. The deal, cleared by Ukraine’s Antimonopoly Committee in March 2026, is the latest step in a broader energy and digital expansion strategy the Nasdaq-listed telecoms operator has been executing since 2025.
