The Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) has donated three high-power autotransformers worth more than $20 million to Ukrenergo NEC as part of the “Emergency Recovery and Reconstruction Project,” the system operator said on Friday.
“It is not the first time we receive donor assistance with scarce and expensive high-voltage equipment from our Japanese partners. Given the consequences of Russia’s massive attacks, the powerful autotransformers delivered at the end of last year are extremely necessary for the Ukrainian energy system,” said Vitaliy Zaichenko, chairman of the board of NEC Ukrenergo.
For his part, Osamu Hattori, Head of the JICA office in Ukraine, expressed his respect for the Ukrenergo team for its technical excellence.
“We deeply admire the resilience and technical excellence of the Ukrenergo team. JICA is committed to continue helping to improve the reliability, security and long-term sustainability of Ukraine’s energy system,” he emphasized.
As Ukrenergo explained, the logistics of cargoes of such type as the above-mentioned autotransformers is a very complicated process due, first of all, to the dimensions of the cargo. The weight of each of the three transformers is almost 200 tons, with a height of 4.5 meters and a width of almost 4 meters.
“Taking into account the dimensions of the transportation platform and the weight of the tractor itself, the route is laid out in such a way as to bypass many bridges, over which or under which it is impossible to pass,” the NEC said.
Investments in the construction of new generation facilities will benefit both investors and Ukraine’s energy system, emphasized Vitaliy Zaychenko, head of NPC Ukrenergo, during his online participation in a meeting of the European Business Association’s board. During the meeting, he informed representatives of Ukraine’s largest financial and industrial groups about the current situation in the energy sector and prospects for the near future.
“Since October last year, the enemy has been carrying out comprehensive attacks on energy facilities, using a very wide arsenal of weapons: from rocket artillery to guided aerial bombs, strike drones, cruise missiles, and ballistic missiles. Many power generation, transmission, and distribution facilities in most regions of Ukraine have been damaged,” said Zaychenko.
According to him, there is an acute power shortage in the energy system, which cannot yet be covered by existing generation and imports of electricity. Under these conditions, it is very important for the Ukrainian energy sector to attract private investment in the construction of power generation facilities.
As the head of Ukrenergo recalled, thanks to special auctions held by the National Energy Company, 423 MW of new generating capacity appeared in the power system over the past year.
“We are grateful to businesses that invest in projects that strengthen the stability of the energy system in such difficult conditions,” he stressed.
In addition, Zaychenko noted the importance of connecting to the common grid those generating capacities that are currently used by businesses and industry exclusively as backup power sources in case of hourly or emergency outages.
“If they were operating on the electricity market, such facilities could cover part of the power deficit in the energy system and at the same time generate profits for their owners,” he said.
According to preliminary expert estimates, the total deficit of operational generating capacity in Ukraine currently exceeds 4 GW.
On Monday, NEC Ukrenergo will restrict electricity supply in all regions of Ukraine.
“Tomorrow, January 26, hourly power cuts and power restrictions (for industrial consumers) will be applied in all regions of Ukraine,” Ukrenergo said in a statement on Telegram.
The reason for the restrictive measures is the consequences of Russian missile and drone attacks on energy facilities, the NEC notes.
The press service of NEC Ukrenergo reports that the situation in the energy system may change.
