The Ministry of Energy spoke about the state of the energy system

No shortage of electricity is expected in the Ukrainian energy system. The situation is controlled, the energy system is balanced. The Ministry of Energy of Ukraine reported this on March 16.

It was noted that yesterday, at the request of Poland, electricity with a total value of 1000 MWh was transferred to the Ukrainian energy system from 14:30 to 17:00.

The thermal power plant unit was taken out for emergency short-term repairs. To cover the needs of consumers, heat reserves and hydro generation are used.

Commercial import and export of electricity is also planned.

Reportedly, as a result of repeated shelling in the Chernihiv region, 10 kV lines were disconnected, more than two thousand consumers were de-energized.

The mine, which lost power as a result of the fighting in the Donetsk region, was restored, and the workers were brought to the surface.

It was also noted that as a result of the fighting, a high-pressure gas distribution pipeline in the Kharkov region was damaged. More than 600 consumers and one utility facility were left without gas supply.

Due to technological violations, the equipment was turned off at a 330 kV substation in the frontline region of the Kharkov region; several substations and household consumers lost power, but they were quickly repaired.

For the current day, electricity import is estimated at 4241 MWh, and export is also expected to reach 2630 MWh.

As reported, the connection of the Ukrainian energy system to the European Network of Electricity Transmission System Operators (ENTSO-E) made it possible to get rid of the dependence on the Russian network and provided a greater advantage.
