Ukraine is preparing for new possible Russian attacks on its energy system. Foreign transformers will be stored in Poland and Romania for now.

Ukraine ordered new high-voltage transformers to replace those destroyed by Russian shelling last winter. Foreign transformers will be stored in Poland and Romania for now. The Economist reported it.

“100 new high-voltage transformers have been ordered, half of which will be produced domestically and half bought abroad. But attacks on Ukrainian factories mean that few are domestically produced. The foreign transformers will remain in Poland and Romania until then. necessary,” said the material.

According to Ukrainian Energy Minister German Galushchenko, the country is preparing for new possible attacks on its energy system, but it is more vulnerable than last year, as it no longer has excess capacity and little spare equipment.

At the same time, Ukrainian engineers found “complex” methods for distributing electricity and equipment throughout the country.

In addition, after modernization in Ukraine, there are many old, but recently decommissioned transformers that can be reconnected if necessary.

According to the publication, the damage caused by the Russian attack last winter was enormous. Electricity generation capacity dropped by 51% in April 2023 compared to before the Russian invasion in February 2022, according to a UN Development Program report.

Remind us that Ukrenergo explained why they don’t hide transformers underground.

It was previously reported that Centrenergo is building protective structures around thermal power plants, which should protect the plants from Russian attacks.
