The construction of the third level of protection has begun at 22 Ukrenergo substations, but it will be completed only at one or two - Shmyhal
Kyiv • UNN
Construction of third-level defense structures has begun at 22 Ukrenergo substations, but only 1-2 will be completed due to the high cost. This will allow us to assess the effectiveness of protection against Russian attacks.
The Restoration Agency has started construction of third-level protective structures at 22 Ukrenergo substations, but due to the high cost, construction will be completed at 1-2 substations. This will make it clear whether this level of protection will be sufficient to protect the substations from damage by russia. This was stated by Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal during a press conference, according to a UNN correspondent.
As for the third level of protection. An absolute experiment. The Rehabilitation Agency has started construction of the third level of protection at 22 Ukrenergo substations. This is an extremely expensive project, the cost of which is measured in tens of billions of hryvnias, approaching hundreds of billions of hryvnias. Complicated in implementation and unique, as it has never been implemented anywhere in the world
The Prime Minister said that the partners currently do not see the feasibility of continuing construction of all facilities at the same time, so they are negotiating an agreement to preserve the construction where it has begun and leave 1-2 facilities that are closest to completion.
We are still talking to our partners. As of today, our partners do not see the feasibility of continuing the construction of all facilities at the same time, and we are still agreeing to carry out conservation where construction has begun, leave 1-2 that are closest to completion, complete them, see how they will work and decide on continuation and how we will complete all other levels of protection
He said that Ukraine needs such facilities because they are large, secure facilities that can accommodate not only substations but also production facilities.
Therefore, we are working with the third level of protection, but it is still an experiment and it will take a little longer to build because of its cost, scale, and to understand that this level of protection is 100% working and protects against any attack by any means that the Russians have
Addendum
Shmyhal reported that most of Ukrenergo's first stage energy infrastructure facilities are now 85% protected.
According to him, Ukraine protects power facilities with the first and second level of protection. The first level of protection is gabions with sand. The second is reinforced concrete structures that can withstand direct drone strikes and also protect power facilities from missile fragments.
