The head of the President’s Office predicted the energy crisis in Ukraine
Ukraine is on the verge of an energy crisis. There is a catastrophic shortage of coal, the authorities are trying to put into operation all the existing power units to eliminate the lack of electricity, and if the frost hits – to avoid turning off the heating.
About it the former head of Office of Ukraine Andrey Bogdan in on the air Savik Shuster’s program “Freedom of Speech”.
Bogdan reminded that Ukraine consumes much more energy than it produces. Therefore, the authorities are currently working to ensure that all 15 nuclear power plants in operation are launched in Ukraine. They are planned to launch in February, but it is unknown what will happen.
“In the history of Ukraine, there have been no nuclear power units. A maximum of 13 worked, and one was under repair, another – in reserve … This is due to what engineering thought studied when building these nuclear power units. 15 units never worked. And we do not know what consequences this will lead to. “ – he said.
Bogdantsia also says that today Ukraine has critically low coal reserves for TPPs, and rich thermal power plants lack fuel. Everything that is mined in Ukraine is growing at the same time. And if you give the frost to -15 degrees, the cost of coal age from today’s 60 thousand tons per day at least twice.
“If there are frosts, we have nothing to just heat” he summed up.
Earlier, it became known that the SBU had informed the Ukrainian government about the critical low coal reserves at Ukrainian CHPs and TPPs – they are about five times smaller than necessary, which could lead to heating problems in some regions.
Due to the complex system in the energy sector, a coordination energy headquarters is being set up at the initiative of the President’s Office in Ukraine.
