IX Decom and MCL Group Unite to Empower Ukraine’s SMEs with Resilient, Affordable Energy
07-08-2025June 2025 – Dutch IX Decom and Ukrainian MCL Group have signed an Agency Agreement to bring pre-owned wind turbines to Ukraine, supporting its energy decentralization and resilience. Under this agreement, Parties are authorized to represent each other and provide wind turbine development & sales services to Ukraine. Legal support for the agreement was provided by LCF Law Group, one of the leading Ukrainian law firms with expertise in energy transactions.
As an initial step under the agreement, the parties plan the delivery of at least 12 pre-owned wind turbines to Ukraine. Three of them - Vestas V90 3 MW turbines - have been delivered bij IX Renewables and their French partner Gensun. and acquired by one of MCL’s partners. These turbines have undergone a full overhaul by the original manufacturer, and are now prepared for delivery to Ukraine.

Since the start of the full-scale invasion, Ukraine has lost over 9 GW of power generation capacity. In this context, decentralized energy solutions are no longer optional — they are essential. Unlike large-scale wind farms, pre-owned turbines are typically installed in small numbers (1-5 units per site), making them ideal for distributed generation and greater grid flexibility.
Ukraine’s energy recovery must begin from the ground up — through decentralization, diversification, and rapid deployment of all available technologies. Our partnership with IX Renewables enables exactly that. Refurbished wind turbines offer a realistic and scalable path to energy independence for communities and businesses that cannot wait. These are not temporary solutions — these are long-term infrastructure assets, restored and ready to serve a new purpose: stabilizing Ukraine’s energy system in the face of war.
This model is particularly attractive to:
- Farmers and agri-processors requiring reliable, off-grid power;
- Manufacturing sites and industrial zones facing frequent outages or high electricity tariffs;
- Logistics and warehousing hubs with growing energy demands;
- Local communities, municipalities, and cooperatives investing in energy autonomy;
- Commercial real estate owners aiming to reduce operational costs and improve ESG performance.
What sets IX Renewables and MCL apart in the secondary wind turbine market is their uncompromising focus on quality. All turbines offered through this partnership undergo:
- Independent technical inspections, assessing the condition of main components;
- Full operational history reviews, including maintenance logs and downtime records;
- Refurbishment directly by the OEM or an authorized service provider;
- Strict selection criteria, with only turbines that have operated for no more than 10-15 years being eligible for resale.
By combining technical diligence, international standards, and local expertise, the companies ensure that Ukrainian customers receive reliable and high-performance renewable assets — at a fraction of the cost of new equipment.
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 any more years. And beyond that, it feels as a meaningful contribution -how small even- to the brave Ukrainian people in their fight for (energy) independency.
This cooperation marks more than a business agreement — it is a strategic response to Ukraine’s urgent energy needs. Through the reuse of certified wind turbines, IX Decom and MCL are helping Ukraine build a more resilient, decentralized, and sustainable energy future — one turbine at a time.
