Ukraine's energy system far from collapse despite weeks of Russian strikes

Barley Risotto and Kimchi: A Culinary Crossroads| SaltWire #food #cookingshorts #kimchiKYIV - Recent Russian attacks have caused significant damage to the Ukrainian power system, but a total collapse is unlikely, the head of Ukraine's national grid company Ukrenergo Volodymyr Kudrytskyi said on Monday.

The county's largest private energy company, DTEK, has said the attacks damaged five of its six power plants, which lost 80% of their capacity. The missile attacks have also significantly damaged the largest Ukrainian hydropower station in Zaporizhzhia, as well as the Kaniv and Dnister stations. "The biggest concern now is the state of electricity production, the part of it that balances the system - hydro and thermal generation. The scale of damage DTEK refers to is obviously a global level of damage," Kudrytskyi said."We are definitely not one step away from collapse. A collapse is an uncontrolled shutdown of most or the entire power system. This has not happened and will not happen, this scenario we consider as unlikely," he said.
