KYIV. June 12 (Interfax-Ukraine) – PJSC Ukrhydroenergo plans to attract investors in the construction of the fifth, sixth and seventh hydroelectric units at Dnistrovska pumped storage power plant, company CEO Ihor Syrota has told journalists in Vyshgorod.
“I think we will attract investors in building the fifth, sixth and seventh power units and will not build them for tariff funds. These units can be built simultaneously, the construction period is about 4-5 years,” he said.
Syrota noted the design and capacity of these power units will differ from the first, second, third and fourth ones.
“We are considering other units. If the capacity of the first-fourth power units in a generation mode is 324 MW and in a pumping mode is 421 MW, the new ones will be of 250 MW and 260 MW respectively, which will be economically more profitable. In addition, we want to foresee another range of regulation from 150 MW to 250 MW,” he said.
The head of Ukrhydroenergo expressed confidence that Ukrainian producers will be able to master the production of new hydro power units.
