The GEO-NET branch in Kiev is one of a total of four foreign branches. This enables us to handle the whole range of our services through our local company - from searching for suitable sites, designing and conducting wind measurement campaigns, to energy yield assessments.

A promising market for wind projects has developed in the Ukraine, fuelled by an interesting feed-in tariff. GEO-NET has been active there almost since the beginning and has gained a lot of experience and knowledge about the wind potential of Ukraine.

Most of the projects are located at the windy sites along the Black Sea coast, but inland and in the Carpathians there are also sites with high wind potential - but here you have to look much closer and choose the sites very carefully. The terrain is usually very complex and so is the wind potential. Simple models fail at such sites. Therefore GEO-NET uses the model FITNAH-3D, a CFD model, which has proven to be very reliable especially in complex terrain.

In recent years, employees from Hanover have increasingly been on site for site inspections, acceptance of wind measurements or contract negotiations. By founding a local company, orders can now be handled directly within the Ukraine. This saves time and facilitates the execution of wind measurement projects and expertises on site.
