The construction of a new hydroelectric power plant (HPP) on the site of the Kakhovka hydroelectric power plant destroyed by the Russian invaders will cost at least EUR 1 billion, Head of PJSC Ukrhydroenergo Ihor Syrota has said.
The expediency of opening electricity exports to Europe in connection with its current and forecasted surplus for the coming months is obvious, but the issue is quite politicized, Director General of PJSC Ukrhydroenergo Ihor Syrota has said.
Dnistrovska pumped storage power plant of PrJSC Ukrhydroenergo managed to temporarily replace the block of Zaporizhia nuclear power plant, which was switched off on August 5 due to damage to the power line by shelling by the Russian military, and avoid serious problems in the energy system, General Director of Ukrhydroenergo Ihor Syrota said.
PrJSC Ukrhydroenergo has started exporting electricity to Moldova in accordance with a contract signed on May 10 with the Moldovan state-owned Energocom, the company said on its website on Thursday.
