“I think, dude, we got screwed” — you couldn’t say it better about the cogeneration situation 😬
That’s what the state did to businesses that, at its request, began building plants that produce heat and electricity.
When you put millions into building cogeneration (basically a small combined-heat-and-power plant), you want some certainty, right? And the conditions for that existed: in particular, a fixed gas price and the ability to sell surplus electricity to the grid.
Then spring came, and the government decided to rewrite the rules. Additional conditions appeared, under which gas at the fixed price can now be bought not by everyone 🤯
Great? Not really. Because this is no longer just about lost megawatt-hours.
The state is breaking trust again: businesses that invested in cogeneration are already counting millions in losses, and there’s no confidence that all these plants will be able to operate normally this winter.
More on the rules for cogeneration and what’s happening with it across different regions of the country — in Svitlana Stetsenko’s video, now on the Bihus.Info channel.
