Ukrenergo and SEPS, the operator of the Slovak power transportation system, have agreed on the final configuration of the request for the reconstruction of the 400 kV Mukachevo-Velke Kapusany power grid, the press service of the state enterprise has said. According to its data, during a meeting in Bratislava at the end of February the parties discussed the implementation of a common network research within the framework of this project and potential technical solutions for the reconstruction of the transmission line. The meeting was held with the participation of the Energy Community Secretariat.
“After the meeting, a protocol was signed containing a specific list of further steps and obligations of the parties with the relevant deadlines for the implementation of network settlements. The results of calculations are expected in August this year and will form the basis for choosing the best technical solution within the framework of the project, namely the modernization of the old line or the construction of a new one,” the report said.
Ukrenergo noted this project is a candidate for the “projects of mutual interest” (PMI), the list of which will be approved by the Council of Ministers of the Energy Community in autumn 2018.
