Ukraine is gradually moving away from the blackout caused by the recent Russian shelling of critical energy infrastructure — energy companies are healing more and more household consumers in various regions every hour. As the chairman of the board of “Ukrenergo” Volodymyr Kudrytskyi reported, the energy system of Ukraine has already overcome the most difficult stage after the attack – electricity supply has been restored in all regions and connection to the European Union’s energy system has been restored.
All three nuclear power plants, which are located in the unoccupied territory, are already in operation. According to the plan, within one or two days they should reach their normal planned capacity and consumers will be transferred to scheduled power outage schedules instead of emergency ones. In addition, part of the “green” generation was connected to the work.
The commercial import of electricity from the EU in the amount of 500-600 MW is technically possible, however, as Kudrytskyi noted, the price of electricity in Europe is higher than in Ukraine, so on general commercial grounds, it is unlikely that anyone will want to do it. To ensure such imports, a special non-commercial mechanism should be developed, according to Kudrytskyi, it is already being developed.
At the same time, the shortage of electricity in the system persists — as of 11:00 a.m., electricity producers provided more than 70% of the country’s consumption needs. In connection with this, all regions of Ukraine have introduced both scheduled and emergency consumption restriction schedules.
