In Ukraine, the repair campaign is designed to ensure that virtually all nine nuclear units at Ukrainian NPPs are in operation in winter, when the load on the power system is at its peak. The campaign is also aimed at preparing the equipment for the heating season as much as possible. This was announced by Deputy Minister of Energy of Ukraine Mykola Kolisnyk during a telethon, according to a correspondent of UNN .
The situation in the energy system remains difficult as the enemy continues to shell civilian energy infrastructure... One of the largest repair campaigns in the history of Ukraine is currently underway. In fact, these are repairs of both generation facilities and the distribution network
He reminded that the total loss of generation as a result of Russian shelling amounted to 9 GW.
Today, the repair campaign is aimed at preparing the equipment for the heating season as much as possible. In particular, Energoatom is doing everything necessary to ensure that the next heating season will be at maximum capacity. That is why repairs are carried out, in particular during the warm season. On the instructions of Energy Minister Galushchenko, the repair campaign is structured in such a way that in winter, during the period of maximum load on the power system, virtually all nine units of nuclear power plants are in operation
According to him, nuclear power generation is currently one of the key ones, covering the vast majority of consumption - up to 60%.
Therefore, it is an important component of the heating season
AddendumAddendum
Power engineers completed scheduled repairs ahead of schedule at one of the NPP's power units and connected it to the grid to strengthen the stability of Ukraine's power system in a difficult period when nuclear power covers most of the country's energy consumption.
