There are three reasons: Ukrenergo explained why they can increase the number of blackouts
The situation in the Ukrainian energy system remains difficult. It can worsen further due to three reasons.
Among them are scheduled repairs of energy facilities, the consequences of Russian shelling and increased consumption due to hot weather, Ukrenergo CEO Volodymyr Kudrytskyi said on air .
– It (deficit in the energy system, – Ed.) cannot be physically covered by the import of electricity from Europe. Planned outage schedules are expected from tomorrow during the day, – said the head of the Ukrenergo company.
What is the situation in the energy system of Ukraine
The first factor that can complicate the situation in the energy system of Ukraine is the scheduled repair of two units of nuclear power plants.
The second reason is the consequences of Russian shelling of the energy industry during May 31 and June 1. In particular, the occupiers attacked the Dnipropetrovsk hydroelectric power plant, the technical condition of which is assessed as difficult, which affects the impossibility of stable operation of the hydroelectric power plant.
The third factor that will affect the situation in the power system is related to the fact that Ukrainians will start turning on the air conditioners due to the heat, so electricity consumption is predicted to increase. According to Volodymyr Kudrytskyi, the deficit will return in a rather serious amount.
