"We lost a lot": the head of the Ministry of Energy told about problems with providing after the punches of the Russian Federation
"The worst thing is when the system falls apart: the so -called cascade accident, after which it must be collected back. Thank God, everything is normal in this regard," he said. According to the minister, the loss of capacity of Trypillian TPP and Dniproges caused a shortage. "It is not just a generation, but a maneuver generation that covers the peaks of consumption. It has always been rising to the peak of consumption to provide electricity," the minister said.
Galushchenko also stated that the most difficult situation with energy is now in Kharkiv. Yes, by April 11, the situation was stabilized, but then the Russians broke two local generations in the city. With regard to light in the summer, Galushchenko stated that it would be difficult if consumption increases. "I think that if people have the opportunity not to turn the same air conditioner in the peak hours, then you should try not to load the system. Let's see how hot the summer will be," he said.
Galushchenko stated that even before a full -scale invasion, there were two peaks of electricity consumption: winter and summer. The situation will also be affected by further strikes of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, which will definitely be. We will remind, the Ministry of Energy was told when the light will be switched off in Ukraine. In Ukraine, it will try to do everything to consumers with frequency of light.
In the case of a negative situation, the distribution of electricity will be fair, said Deputy Minister of Energy Svitlana Grinchuk. It should also be noted that the government told how to protect the energy objects from the strikes of the Russian Federation. According to Viceremier Kubrakov, all objects can be completely protected by the third level of protection. It is about building new substations immersed in ground. Such structures have already begun, but additional funding is needed.
