Abstract

Summary

Wind energy is the industry that occupies a leading position among all types of renewable energy sources. Climate factors, such as wind direction and speed, play an important role in the development of this energy sector. Lviv region is at the forefront of wind energy projects in western Ukraine. In 2025, wind farms with a total capacity of over 89 MW are in operation in the region. Lviv region is a leading region in western Ukraine in terms of wind energy development prospects due to its favourable geographical location. The average annual wind speed in the region is 2.7 m/s, with the highest wind speeds in January and November (3.2 m/s) and the lowest in August (2.0 m/s). The wind speed and mean power density were estimated based on geodata from the Global Wind Atlas resource at heights of 50 and 100 m. The highest rates are typical for the ranges of the Skybovi Carpathians, the uplands of the Peredkarpattia and the Podilska Upland.
