Ukrenergo is preparing for several scenarios for the winter of 2024-2025. It will be one of the most difficult in the previous three years.
This was announced by Oleksiy Brecht, acting head of Ukrenergo, reports Suspilne Novosti.
According to him, three options are being considered, including the worst case scenario. We are talking about the continuation of massive shelling of the infrastructure, transmission network, generation facilities, etc. In this case, the light will be turned off for up to 8 hours a day.
“Under this scenario, with the amount of electricity imports that we already have today, we can have electricity capacity restrictions on critical, cold days of up to two lines of outage schedules, no more. That is, up to 8 hours,” said Brecht.
He also reminded that Ukraine lost 9 GW of generating capacity in the spring as a result of shelling by the Russian Federation. This is equivalent to the summer electricity consumption of the Netherlands or the nighttime consumption of Ukraine in the summer.
Brecht emphasized that such losses are significant, but Ukrenergo has a plan to restore these capacities.
We will remind, on October 28, emergency blackouts were introduced in the Sumy and Poltava regions.
According to a study by the European Business Association, 87% of companies reported that power outages affected their operations.
