Ukraine is not prepared for a rapid restoration of the energy system in the event of serious Russian attacks on the energy sector this winter. This was stated by Alexander Kharchenko, director of the Center for Energy Research, in an interview with People's Deputy Andriy Zhupanin.
“We are not at all ready for a rapid restoration in the event of serious energy attacks this winter, because partners continue to take a leisurely approach to delivering equipment— funds were allocated in March, and in June they only announced tenders, the implementation of which will take a year,” he said.
Kharchenko noted that at these paces a substantial portion of the necessary equipment will not be delivered before the start of the heating season. He emphasized that this could complicate preparing the energy system for potential mass attacks.
Romania began importing electricity from Ukraine.
Recall that the Romanian energy company Nuclearelectrica began purchasing electricity from Ukraine after the shutdown of the first power unit of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. Purchases are carried out with the support of the Moldovan electricity supplier Energocom.
A complicated situation has developed in Romania and the entire region due to critically low water levels in the Danube as a result of a severe drought. Nuclearelectrica noted that the imported electricity will be used to cover the deficit.
