The energy deficit caused by shelling is partially covered by imports. Now Ukraine takes the maximum possible volume from Europe, but will be asked to increase import opportunities, said the deputy head of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Energy.
Restrictions on electricity consumption, applied in Ukraine due to the shortage that arose after the shelling of Russian energy infrastructure facilities, “will remain here for a long time.” This is the prediction on the Youtube channel Vishka voiced the first deputy head of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Energy and Housing and Communal Services Aleksey Kucherenko.
“There will be restrictions for a long time, unfortunately, there will be in summer, and then there will be, and there will be in winter Because nothing will fundamentally change the potential of thermal power plants that have been disabled in the last five waves of missile attack “, – he said.
According to Kucherenko, after the racist attacks on the Ukrainian energy infrastructure, 8 thousand MW of generation capacity was lost.
“We lost 8 thousand MW – it talked a lot with electrical engineers, that is, from 8 thousand there are now 800 less and therefore the deficit is predicted.
The deputy head of the Rada committee added that the deficit is partially covered by electricity imports. According to him, Ukraine is now taking the maximum possible volume from Europe, but will be asked to increase import opportunities to further cover the deficit.
We remind you that from March 22 to May 8, the Russians targeted all large thermal and hydroelectric power plants in Ukraine five times. Due to extensive damage to facilities in Ukraine, there was a power shortage, so shutdown schedules were first introduced for industry, and later for the population.
