Dutch firm IX Decom, part of IX Renewables, has signed an agency agreement with Ukraine’s MCL Group to supply pre-owned wind turbines aimed at strengthening the country’s energy resilience amid ongoing power infrastructure challenges.
The partnership will provide wind turbine development and sales services in Ukraine, with plans to deliver at least 12 refurbished turbines in an initial phase. Three of these – Vestas V90 3MW units – have already been supplied by IX Renewables and French partner Gensun, and acquired by a partner of MCL Group.
The turbines have undergone complete refurbishment by the original manufacturer and are intended for use in decentralised power generation. According to the companies, the relatively small scale of deployment—typically one to five turbines per site—offers greater flexibility for Ukraine’s grid and faster deployment in regions affected by power shortages.
“Ukraine’s energy recovery must begin from the ground up – through decentralisation, diversification, and rapid deployment of all available technologies,” said Mykola Gerasymenko, chief executive of MCL Group. “Refurbished wind turbines offer a realistic and scalable path to energy independence for communities and businesses that cannot wait.”
The agreement comes as Ukraine continues to face widespread energy disruption, having lost more than 9 gigawatts (GW) of generation capacity since the start of the full-scale invasion. In this context, the partners say decentralised renewable solutions are critical to rebuilding the country’s energy system.
IX Decom, which specialises in the decommissioning and resale of wind turbines, will work with MCL Group, a multidisciplinary firm involved in full-cycle wind energy project development in Ukraine. All turbines offered under the agreement will be subject to independent technical inspections and operational history reviews before refurbishment. Only turbines with no more than 10–15 years of prior service will be considered for resale.
This partnership is more than a business transaction; it shapes the possibility to give these beautiful machines a second life and produce clean energy for many more years,” said Marvin Clazing, COO of IX Renewables and managing director of IX Decom. “And beyond that, it feels like a meaningful contribution… to the brave Ukrainian people in their fight for (energy) independency.
The companies said their approach combines international technical standards with local project delivery expertise, offering a lower-cost alternative to new wind installations while supporting Ukraine’s long-term infrastructure recovery.
