The Russian missile attack on April 11 destroyed the Trypilla thermal power plant (TPP) in the Kyiv region. Currently, the demolition of the rubble as a result of the Russian strike continues.
What is known about the aftermath of the Russian attack on the Trypil TPP
The chief supervisory board of PJSC, "Tsentrenergo", Andrii Got, reported that the current situation in the energy system, despite the destruction of the TPP, remains stable.
I hope that the people of Kyiv will not feel the consequences today. But this is a question not only for us, but for the entire energy system of Ukraine. As of today, I have information that the situation is stable, Andrii Got added.
As for the consequences, Got noted that this is a complete loss of generation—thermal and manoeuvrable generation—which will be felt at the peaks of electricity consumption.
He noted that flexible generation operates during peak hours and meets demand at times when other generation cannot do so.
Not wind, not sun, not hydro, but heat generation can do it. Well, unfortunately, it is not possible today, noted Andrii Got.
Gota said that there are currently deadlines for restoring the station. He noted that in August 2023, the team had a similar incident:” At the same time, the blocks were not destroyed, but they were stopped and unable to work.
And in a few months, we already entered the winter with almost maximum capacity. Therefore, we know how to restore from scratch and approximate terms. But I cannot name these terms due to objective reasons ," he explained.
