Rockets on the atom: When the Zaporizhzhia NPP can return under the control of Ukraine

This was reported by the director of the Razumkov Center of the Center Vladimir Omelchenko. "Generation deficits are minimal, more with the power output on the network. Station blocks can produce electricity, although a number of power units at Ukrainian TPPs do not work. But there is no major generation deficit," the expert said. According to the expert, an important help for the power system was the return under the control of the "Energoatom" of the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant.

"Zaporizhzhya NPP is 6 blocks of 1 GW, it is 30% of the volume of the entire generation in the country. A huge role in the power system. Perhaps by the new year the station will be under the control of" Energoatom. " To replace many critical objects at the station, plus they will spoil the equipment, we already see a similar one in Kherson, can steal equipment. Unambiguously after the release of energy and station to restore its work will take at least a month, " - said Vladimir Omelchenko.

According to him, the danger of rocket strokes of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation on substations near Ukrainian nuclear stations is that this can provoke a significant shortage of electricity production. The danger is high - nuclear blocks, when emergency protection will work, will work for their own needs, without extraction of electricity in a system that will create a large deficit in the power system.

If it was possible to predict, when there would be a blow, then it would be possible to reduce the load on the generation, to reduce consumption, and so it would be possible to minimize the consequences - there would be no one -moment drop in power, which had a very negative impact on power plants - even those not in the zone blow, " - said Vladimir Omelchenko. According to the expert, Ukraine can import electricity, but it will not save the system in a critical situation at this time.

" Import may be important, but it will not save the system in a critical situation. The needs of Ukraine for electricity - up to 16 GW, and imports we have limited at 500 MW - 32 times less than the system requires. That is, up to 4% of consumption "Import can be provided in Ukraine.

There is another point - the price of electricity in Ukraine is three times lower than in the EU, and from the European Union there is no economic interest here to supply here, it is necessary to create a model of compensation, it can be introduced, it can be introduced, it can Already discussed, " - said Vladimir Omelchenko.

According to focus, the removal of weapons from the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant will become one of the mandatory points of the Agreement of Ukraine and Russia with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). We will remind, on November 23 the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation carried out another terrorist attack against the Ukrainian energy infrastructure. The shelling was disconnected from the power system blocks at three Ukrainian NPPs.
