Rashists are trying to find people who blew up high-voltage transmission lines with which the Russians want to supply stolen Ukrainian electricity to the occupied Crimea. It is reported by the Kherson edition of "

Recall, for the first time, the pillars of power lines, through which electricity was supplied to the occupied Crimea, were blown up by unknown persons back in October 2015, as part of the civil blockade of Crimea..

But the Ukrainian authorities did not stop the supply of electricity to the Crimea.

In turn, the participants in the action of the civil blockade of Crimea announced their intention to block the repair of power lines that transmit electricity to Crimea.. At the same time, they noted that they did not know who blew up the supports, but the protesters had nothing to do with the deliberate damage to power lines..

The second time the supports were blown up already in November of the same year..

After that, in Chaplinka, Ukrainian law enforcement officers tried to push back the participants in the blockade of Crimea, who prevented the repair of damaged electrical poles.. It is noteworthy that Ilya Kiva, head of the department for combating drug crime of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine, led the security forces in Chaplinka.

The next day, the damaged power line resistances were blown up again.. Almost the entire Crimea was left without electricity until midnight Kyiv time.

In the end, the Ukrainian authorities nevertheless resumed the supply of electricity to the occupied Crimea. In December 2015, Ukraine provided 20% of Crimea's electricity needs.

And the Gauleiter of the occupied Crimea, Sergey Aksyonov, explained that Crimea would suffer from power outages until 2018.. By that time, it was planned to transfer an energy bridge across the Crimean bridge and build two power plants in Crimea.

By the way, it was with these power plants that there was a scandal with the supply of Siemens turbines bypassing the sanctions.. The Ukrainian prosecutor's office opened a criminal case on the fact of the supply of equipment from a German company to the occupied Crimea only in 2021.

On August 10, it became known that Russia had begun the process of connecting the occupied ZNPP to its own energy system..

At the same time, plans were being worked out for the commissioning of a power transmission line leading to the Crimean Peninsula. There are also plans to resume power supply from ZNPP to Taganrog and Rostov, but the implementation of this scenario, unlike the previous one, is unlikely in the near future. At the same time, neither Crimea nor Rostov needs additional electricity, as local experts have repeatedly stated..

The main risk of ZNPP switching to the Russian energy system still concerns Ukraine. This is a deficit of approximately 2 million kW of electricity, that is, up to 10% of the total electricity generation in Ukraine. In the future, this will create significant problems in the energy system, especially in winter, when the lack of generation at ZNPP will provoke a shortage of electricity..

In the context of a general shortage of energy resources, this will dramatically complicate the passage of the autumn-winter period, which will not be easy this year without it.

Recall that in early June, NNEGC " However, ways and possibilities were found.

Although Nikolai Teslya, a power engineer and economist with 20 years of experience in the energy industry, claims that the “switching” of the Zaporizhzhya NPP to the Russian energy system will still bring surprises and problems to the occupiers, and not only of a technical nature.
