On July 6, Russia attacked 130 settlements and 83 infrastructure objects in Ukraine.
Points of attention
- Ukraine's energy industry suffered serious damage due to Russian strikes, which caused a shortage of electricity in the country.
- Restoration of the energy potential of Ukraine is possible with the help of wind energy.
- The construction of the Poltava wind power plant with a capacity of 650 MW is planned to compensate for the losses of the Ukrainian energy industry.
- Wind energy can become the basis for restoring the energy potential of Ukraine during the period of Russian aggression.
Russia regularly fires at Ukrainian infrastructure facilities
As noted, in general, during the past day, Russian troops shelled the territory of 10 regions of Ukraine.
The occupiers used various types of weapons, including: mortars, tanks, artillery, MLRS, UAVs, air defense systems, tactical aviation.
What is the state of Ukrainian energy industry
The Ukrainian energy industry suffered very significant damage due to Russian strikes. The Russians destroyed large Ukrainian thermal power plants and thermal power plants, and disabled the Dnipro hydroelectric plant.
These damages caused a significant shortage of electricity in the energy grid of Ukraine, and therefore "Ukrenergo" had to introduce blackout schedules.
According to the Yasno energy company, according to the basic scenario, Ukrainians can be without electricity for 12 hours every day in winter.
At the same time, the Ministry of Energy of Ukraine stated that it is still too early to make predictions about the duration of power outages in winter.
However, it became known that the DTEK company is undergoing the stage of obtaining all the necessary permits and documents for the construction of the 650 MW Poltava wind farm.
Wind energy has many strategic advantages — the speed of construction, the dispersion of turbines and the largest generation from the beginning of autumn to the end of spring. That is why it should become the basis for restoring the energy potential of Ukraine in the coming years. In accordance with this, we continue to comprehensively prepare for the implementation of the Poltava wind farm project with a capacity of 650 MW, - said Deputy General Director of DTEK WDE Oleg Solovei.
