Currently, power engineers do not have enough skills to balance the power grid in hot weather conditions and reduce the water level in rivers.
Hot weather and lower water levels in rivers have caused an increase in power shortages in the energy system. DTEK Executive Director Dmytro Sakharuk stated this on Hromadske Radio.
“Back then, the deficit was smaller than now. The last three days were a bit hot, the attract did not increase, the same,” he said, adding that with more comfortable temperatures for energy workers, imports are enough to balance the energy system. energy, but now they are gone.
Also, the increase in the deficit is affected by the decrease in the water level in the rivers.
“Today the amount of water is becoming smaller, and therefore the ability to balance the system by increasing generation in hydroelectric power plants is becoming less,” Sakharuk explained.
It was previously reported that as a result of the last five massive Russian missile attacks on the energy system, Ukraine lost 8 GW of generating capacity. Thermal generation was almost destroyed, and hydroelectric power stations were also damaged. Due to the lack of electricity in the country, consumer shutdown schedules were introduced.
