It is indicated that DTEK energy holding aims to create a power supply system in Ukraine of a qualitatively different level to provide for citizens and business development.
“A modern smart power grid will be developed taking into account the best experience in Europe,” said Alina Bondarenko, chief operating officer of DTEK Grids, during the presentation of the concept at the Electric Grid of Ukraine 2023 forum.
It is expected that as a result of the implementation of the concept, the average power outage time per year for clients of regional networks will be reduced to 100 minutes (SAIDI) – this is 7 times less than today, and up to 50 minutes in Kiev.
At the same time, technological losses will be reduced by an average of 1.7 times – up to 5%, and all the company’s clients will be installed with smart meters.
According to Bondarenko, in the first stage of the project, DTEK will create a digital model, which will be the first digital twin of a real distribution network in Ukraine (Digital Twin) – it will allow testing the effectiveness of the applied technical solutions and innovative ideas. in the planning stage.
This approach will make it possible to clearly predict the effects of all technical solutions and investments and will indicate bottlenecks in energy centers, such as replacing all overhead lines with more resistant cable lines to weather conditions and other adverse factors.
The next stage will be the implementation of a pilot project of the “smart” network in Irpen, Bucha, Gostomel and surrounding settlements and the scaling of this experience throughout the Kyiv region.
“Large-scale infrastructure renewal requires diversified and gradual funding from various sources, which must be provided at the state level by relevant regulatory documents,” the company said.
Sources of financing can be: donor aid from the EU, long-term lending at preferential rates, financing for the sale of confiscated assets of the Russian Federation and partial financing in a tariff with a plan for 10 years.
DTEK explained that such a diversified approach will help reduce the financial burden on the country and realize the long-term modernization of the networks.
We remind you that before the start of the new heating season, DTEK modernized two high-voltage substations in Kyiv. They illuminate about 200 high-rise buildings, more than 2.5 thousand private houses, schools, kindergartens, hospitals and other social facilities.
It was also known that in May-August 2023, DTEK increased electricity by almost a third compared to the same period last year.
