After the attacks of the terrorist army of the Russian Federation on the energy infrastructure of Ukraine, the country began a real boom in demand for generators, mobile power plants, from domestic to industrial. What will happen to these facilities after the end of the heating season, and even more so after the war, said experts interviewed by Economic Truth.

According to data operated by the government, since the beginning of 2022, about 700 thousand. generators, the total capacity of which is about 3 thousand. MW.

This volume can be produced by three power units of the Russian-occupied and stopped Zaporizhzhya NPP.

In addition, gas turbine and gas piston power plants began to arrive in Ukraine, the use of which was recently announced by Prime Minister Denys Shmihal.

Market participants and experts interviewed by EP say that the need for such facilities will not disappear after the end of the heating season.

First, the power outage will continue. Perhaps not so long-term, in smaller volumes or in separate regions, but in a magical way, all problems in the energy sector will not disappear..

Secondly, the Russians continue to attack and further aggravate the situation in the energy system.

Thirdly, from the point of view of security, we must look to the future. It is not known whether there will be similar blows to the energy system in a few years..

Such objects will be in demand in the peaceful post-war period.. They will work as a flexible generation, which was critically lacking in the energy system of Ukraine even before the war..

Even in peacetime, Ukrenergo dispatchers complained that in order to develop renewable sources in power generation, it is necessary to install at least 1 GW of highly flexible capacities and 500 MW of energy storage.

Recall that a blackout in the Ukrainian energy sector is unlikely, and largely because the energy system was built in the USSR, taking into account probable massive attacks..
