In the cities of Dnepr, Kamenskoye and Krivoy Rog, the approved hourly closing schedules are not fully implemented, and not all consumers are involved in the schedules.
The State Energy Supervision Inspectorate conducted inspections on the application of hourly shutdown schedules (HSO) in six regions and identified many violations. The department announced this on Friday, July 19.
It is indicated that inspections have already been carried out in Vinnytsia, Dnipropetrovsk, Zhytomyr, Ivano-Frankivsk, Kirovograd and Odessa regions.
“During the inspections, it was established that in all regions the maximum possible uniform distribution of consumption reduction quantities between consumers was not ensured in particular, it was revealed that not all consumers who do not belong in critical infrastructure category items are included in hourly outage schedules,” it said.
In terms of the number of detected violations, the Dnipropetrovsk and Zhytomyr regions are in the lead. At the same time, Gosenergonadzor announced that Zhytomiroblenergo interfered with the work of inspectors in the form of denying access to the control centers of some structural divisions of oblenergo.
Inspectors noted a several-fold increase in the timing of the application of closing schedules and the number of queues that were not used according to the developed plan in the Dnipropetrovsk region. The recovery of some consumers may occur later than the period set by the schedules, so the blackout lasts more than 7 hours.
In the cities of Dnepr, Kamenskoye and Krivoy Rog, the approved hourly closing schedules are not fully implemented, and not all consumers are involved in the schedules.
In addition, a large number of consumers are classified as critical infrastructure, which, together with the accompanying load, leads to an overestimated amount of power that cannot be disconnected. Accordingly, other consumers bear the excessive burden of losses, which violates the fairness of the distribution of electrical energy.
In the Zhytomyr region, many cases of non-compliance with the orders of Ukrenergo dispatchers to introduce the GPO were recorded. The dispatchers on duty at the substations systematically did not fully disconnect all the queues and connections of the queues established at the gas production facility. In some settlements, the necessary disconnections of connections are initiated by the dispatcher upon arrival at the control center of the State Energy Supervision inspector.
It was also revealed that the Zhytomiroblenergo website continues to provide inaccurate information about the frequency and duration of use of each stage of gas supply, the timing of interruptions in the supply of electrical energy in populated areas, individuals residential areas and streets. In general, this led to the systematic non-participation of the regional center and other regional cities in the GPO application, in violation of the principle of fairness in the distribution of electricity between the regions of Ukraine.
Based on the results of the inspections, instructions were given to eliminate the violations within a week. After this, repeated inspections will be conducted at these regional power companies. Failure to follow the instructions given by oblenergo will incur a fine.
Starting July 22, Gosenergonadzor will conduct inspections of oblenergos in Kyiv, Kyiv, Poltava, Lviv, Transcarpathian and Zaporozhye regions.
A week ago, it became known that regional power companies will be audited in Ukraine. Gosenergonadzor has a reasonable suspicion that some oblinergos have incorrectly applied closing schedules.
In the past, energy experts predicted that July would be the most difficult period for the Ukrainian energy system. It is at this time that nuclear power plants undergo scheduled maintenance.
In this regard, Prime Minister Denis Shmygal announced that the duration of the outages will soon be reduced.
