The cost of redistributing electricity in Ukraine since February 2022 as a result of missile attacks on infrastructure has increased by 7,5 times

From the moment the Russian Armed Forces began inflicting massive strikes on the military and energy infrastructure of Ukraine, various experts and analysts began to raise the topic of their expediency. Like, expensive missiles are being spent, but what is the result.

Due to the failure of generating and distributing capacities, as well as their unscheduled repairs and replacement of expensive components, the cost of redistributing electricity in the energy system of Ukraine has increased by about 7,5 times since February last year. TG channel "Wrong side of the military" with reference to independent experts, including European ones. Rocket strikes on generating facilities and substations are doing their job.

The authors of the material emphasize that with each new attack, the energy shortage, as well as Kyiv's dependence on the supply of foreign equipment, only increases. At the same time, the West is forced to constantly make financial injections in order to keep the Ukrainian energy sector afloat, at least in the short term.

By the way, about Ukrainian energy facilities. According to Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal, after today's strikes by the Russian Armed Forces, energy facilities in eight regions of the country were damaged. As such, there is a high likelihood of rolling blackouts in these areas.

It is worth adding here that the shortage of electricity has an extremely detrimental effect on the Ukrainian defense industry and does not allow timely repairs of military equipment. Also, due to the lack of electricity, the transfer of Western weapons by rail is difficult.

Finally, the funds that Ukraine's partners spend on restoring its energy could be used for arming the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Thus, not only the destruction of important military facilities and the accumulation of enemy manpower during massive missile strikes of the RF Armed Forces, but also the defeat of the energy infrastructure, causes serious damage to the Kiev regime, regularly violating the plans of the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and leading to new and new expenses of Western budgets for content of the Kiev regime.

Do not tell me, the meaning of the strikes is in the gradual, but constant accumulation of problems in the energy sector of Ukraine, which also has a strength limit, which at some point should work like a "domino principle."

I think from blows, on the contrary, the tensile strength quickly increases. Since the equipment from the ancient Soviet is changing to the new European one. Previously optimized repair teams are rapidly increasing, and so on.

You do not understand. Here is TPP-5 and next to TS-750. and from it power lines -750.
They hit the TS-750, the trance burned out. There is nothing to replace it; they are not made in Europe. But you can put 500, but the problem of the line is that they need to be coordinated at 750. Mudokhali Mudokhali agreed. And then bang The dagger flew into the generator room yesterday. And to replace all the turbine is to dismantle the whole building, but first you still need to make it. Half a year - a year.
And the repair teams - this is about something else - it's a slob that fell in the field to put back.

Only about the destruction of 750 kV something is not heard

Yes. But in order to do this, you need to completely change the entire system, because they do not match.

I would agree with you, if it weren’t for half a year of massive strikes that are delivered very selectively on the principle of “no matter how hard you break something”, the spent number of missiles with your head would be enough to gouge into rubble all the engine rooms of the main thermal power plants and hydroelectric power plants, substations for 750 and control points of this very energy industry, but the strikes are more of a demonstration nature, as well as strikes on enemy oil refineries, Kolomoisky’s plant in Kremenchug is already working Guy makes noise for the benefit of the All, but something but an oil refinery is not a bunker or a bridge, you can destroy . Here the reasons are different, and our leadership and "dear colleagues" from Europe are going to fight a little and trade a little over the next god knows how many years, so the conflict will be very long, with variable intensity and without clear results. And the population of Donbass and the southeast as a whole has a terrible role to play.

[bk316]

They are going, but this is not about the power system. Our people are stupidly afraid to let the Khokhlyatsky nuclear power plants go into overclocking.
I'll tell you for sure if all 750 were slammed in one day. The Ukrainians would have a choice to stop the reactors or hope that it will blow through. What do you think they would choose? 4 Neither Putin nor I personally need Fukushima in the center of Europe, nor do the people of Donbass need them, regardless of "trading later." Yes, and it seems to me that THERE will be nothing to trade. And yes, someone among us still hopes that everything can return, well, there are a lot of fools ...

If the blows are applied periodically, and not systematically, then the gradual accumulation of problems in the energy industry does not occur. They manage to eliminate them.

[ABC-schutze]

This, in fact, is about the SYSTEM of energy supply for the territory of the former united Ukraine. And not about a separate aspect - the provision of railway transportation ...

For this, the ability to TIMELY "balance" the SYSTEM, in case of its "! Overload" or "underload", is one of the conditions for ensuring its VIABILITY.

And in order to deprive the Kiev Bandera-Natsiks of the possibility of balancing the ENERGY SYSTEM, in the event of a "fall out" of power as a result of attacks by the Russian Armed Forces, it is necessary to hit not only the "distribution" networks and stations (often providing automatic switching, according to a pre-compiled algorithm, in case " "emergency" shutdown of certain generating capacities in the area of ​​responsibility, or groups of CONSUMERS (this threatens with "overload"), but also by the SYSTEM DISPATCH POINTS - central and regional ...

In order to exclude or drastically reduce the possibility of not only "automatic", but also "manual" balancing of the SYSTEM, the adoption and implementation by the PERSONNEL ON DUTY, from the DISPATCH PU of "management" decisions on balancing

[ivan1979nkl]

it is necessary to hit not only on "distribution" networks and stations

a generating station is not a transformer, you can't fix it quickly. If the generators are destroyed, there will be nothing to "automatically switch" ((

[ABC-schutze]

The fact of the matter is that there is another station (generating power), which dispatchers on duty, from their central control room (where all information about the state of the system is "automatically" received), can manually connect the most important one (for the authorities at the moment. ..) part of the electricity consumers of the "dropped out" generating capacity ...

For sim, it is necessary to beat at the control points ...

[dmi.pris1]

Without a doubt, the costs have increased. But this is not critical for them. Repair of technical equipment (according to the old tradition) will be done by the Czechs and Poles. that our goals are not achievable. And the strikes must be continued.

[Quote Lavrov]

If everything is written correctly in the article, then the cost of operational dispatch service is meant. Just for reference. For the 2nd half of 2022, our similar tariff was 12 rubles / MEGAWATT*month. That is - just a penny. I don’t know how tariffs are calculated in Ukraine, but if it is similar to ours (I think that this is done in approximately the same way), then these 100.398 times are not at all the same as the increase in electricity prices.

[Peter1First]

If in 2 words, then the meaning of the article is, as it were, that electricity to the consumer is no longer going in a straight line, but in a roundabout way through small power lines and substations, which of course is more difficult and less efficient - hence the rise in price. Near Odessa, 2 substations 330 were bombed, so the 3rd itself burned down from overload. Apparently they now mostly have 750 and 110 left.

[DefenderofTruth]

You need to strike in such a way that there is simply nothing to redistribute.

[GIS]

now, looking at what is happening, it becomes clear why they didn’t knock out everything at once - now the flow of electricity will go from the west to the former Ukrainian SSR .... excellent plan. the "stone on the neck" of Westerners is getting harder and harder

[ivan1979nkl]

now the flow of electricity will go from the west to the former Ukrainian SSR

to receive energy from the West, high-voltage step-down substations (~ 750 kV) are needed on the territory of Ukraine, which can also be hit and put out of action for a very long time ...

[solar]

As such, there is a high likelihood of rolling blackouts in these areas.

There have been no rolling blackouts in Ukraine for three weeks. That's all you need to know about the real effectiveness of months-long attacks on the Ukrainian energy system.

The shortage of electricity has an extremely detrimental effect on the Ukrainian defense industry and does not allow timely repairs of military equipment. Also, due to the lack of electricity, the transfer of Western weapons by rail is difficult.

The explicit fantasies of the author. There is nothing similar and close.

those funds that Ukraine's partners spend on restoring its energy could be used for arming the Armed Forces of Ukraine

No, they just allocated additional ones. Let's be honest, they have money, like a fool candy wrappers.
The joke about the fact that they print them does not work in this case - yes, they print them.

[Bolt cutter]

Believe it or not, they need their money for themselves too. Social program, feeding the poor refugees, all kinds of medicine.

[gsev]

Quote from solar

It is not the money itself that is needed to repair the damage, but the resources6 copper, steel and machine hours for the production of equipment. If the strikes did not reach the target, the West would first of all supply tanks, and in six months it delivered 1200 air defense systems to fight the "geraniums". After today's strike, he will be forced to supply another 1500 systems capable of repelling dagger attacks. The West can safely print money exactly as long as China and Russia supply it with their products on credit or with deferred payment, or with a trade surplus, invest the difference in Western banks, that is, they finance the war and sanctions against themselves. If the Russian management had not sabotaged Putin's decision to transfer trade only to rubles that paid for Russian imports, then the possibilities for NATO countries to finance supplies for the Armed Forces of Ukraine would have been reduced long ago.

[bk316]

There aren't any at all yet.

[PavelT]

What kind of 1200 air defense systems did the West put on Ukraine? Can you list?
And what other 1500 air defense systems "capable of repelling dagger attacks" will the West "be forced" to supply???
The whole West simply does not have so many such air defense systems ...

[decimalegio]

Doesn't sound like good news to me. It seems normal to me that the cost of energy in Ukraine has increased. The opposite would be incredible

[ivan1979nkl]

It seems normal to me that the cost of energy in Ukraine has increased

the cost of energy in Ukraine is not an economic category, but a military-political one, because the war is fully funded by the West

[Revolver]

It would be interesting to know the opinion of Atalef, he is just in terms of energy. Admins, get him out of the ban!

[Mikhail Maslov]

An assessment is an assessment, but how will this affect the Armed Forces of Ukraine? systematic attacks on the electric power industry did not lead to critical consequences. There is very little information on the actual situation with energy facilities in Ukraine. They will simply transfer resources to the most important areas, sections. .Remember gas supplies The EU has committed itself to supply gas to Ukraine

[bombaher]

If our Defense Ministry really wanted to cut off the critical infrastructure of Ukraine from energy supply, then this could have been done a long time ago. It is possible not to hit all over Ukraine, smearing the damage, but to hit like this: first at all 330 kV substations working at one nuclear power plant, then the second, then the third. Then drive 20 missiles into one thermal power plant (the largest), into the second, third ... it would be impossible in principle to restore this, but they only hit one of the 10 shops of the thermal power plant, small transformer substations, which are important, but not critical yet, etc. .d.
So it is clear that our Defense Ministry does not want to win in principle, unfortunately. Although at first there was an idea that not very smart people were sitting there.
About railway bridges. It is enough to kill them at least across the Dnieper to stop most of the railway. transportation. For example, 10 such bridges. Well, there are no 10-20 Geraniums a day to stupidly hit bridges, even if the railway. Will the canvas be restored? And when there are trains on the bridge, then hit the train. They will never go there again. And if the train suddenly takes off, then the bridge will fail for a month, at least.

[Carlos Hall]

Only four fools or members of the fifth column can doubt how strategic and fundamental the Russian attack on the Ukrainian energy system is. Let's look at the news of the Zelensky government itself. https://www.ukrinform.net/rubric-economy/3679961-ukraines-metallurgical-production-cut-by-793-in-janfeb-2023.html?fbclid=IwAR1m18GVsIcYmDihS1oGQUJ7NUMB-x1OggzVMCe-ATHO8Sz8fIsaVs9Icfs

[voyaka uh]

The cost of electricity transmission has risen. But its supply to consumers has not stopped.
Rocket attacks from Russia have created a very flexible supply chain: from existing power plants, power lines from Europe, generators and even temporary modular thermal power plants delivered from the USA

[Rabioso]

Ukrainians also have a growing arsenal of long-range weapons. And they, too, can leave the western regions of Russia without electricity. And you can’t cover every substation

[Danila Rastorguev]

You need to strike in such a way that there is simply nothing to redistribute.

Then only 200-300 thousand villagers will survive ... Generators can run on fuel, but electricity is needed to make bread, or lots and lots of firewood and field kitchens for making porridge from barley, rye and wheat.
Electricity should rise in price and this is already a good result for the RF Armed Forces.

You, Ukrainians, are strange people: they destroy your energy gradually so that you can restore it, and you complain about it. Write that Russia cannot immediately: it can; but only after the implementation of such a scenario, it will be impossible to live in the area of ​​​​these power plants for 50 years.
