Due to rocket attacks by Russian troops, Ukraine last year lost most of its wind (about 90%) and up to 40% of solar generation.. That is, in the coming year, the greatest load will fall on thermal power generation.. This was announced by Minister of Energy German Galushchenko during a meeting to review the problems of the activities of state-owned coal mining enterprises, writes UNN..

“The load on thermal generation will be maintained throughout the year. The Russians have occupied our largest nuclear power plant, the Zaporizhzhya NPP, in addition, because of them, we have lost about 90% of wind generation and up to 40% of solar. Thus, thermal generation will carry a significant load,” German Galushchenko said..

He noted that taking into account the damage caused, in particular at thermal generation facilities, the calculations for the balance and consumption of coal were adjusted based on the results of November and December 2022..

“This and the next heating season, we will live off our own production. And this is a fact that must be accepted and, on the basis of it, calculate further plans, ”summed up Herman Galushchenko.
