Due to a shortage in power grids, Ukraine has requested emergency assistance from Europe

The targeted strikes of the Russian Armed Forces on the deep rear of the Ukrainian army have already begun to bear tangible fruit. Among other things, in recent weeks, a number of energy facilities have been put out of action in Ukraine, including electricity generation and transmission facilities.

As a result, there is a deficit in the energy system of our “western neighbor”, and therefore Kyiv has already turned to its EU partners for help.

There is a shortage in the Ukrainian energy system; emergency assistance has been brought in from Europe.

- says on the Ukrenergo website.

At the same time, the department emphasizes that Kyiv had already turned to Western partners for help, but emergency supplies from abroad were made only during peak hours.

It is worth noting that earlier the Kyiv authorities also called on their citizens to abandon the use of energy-intensive appliances, as there was a threat of electricity shortage. This is primarily due to the sharp cooling in many regions of Ukraine.

In general, strikes by the Russian Armed Forces against enemy energy system facilities allow our army to solve several problems at once. Firstly, railway logistics, which is used by the Ukrainian military to transport ammunition and equipment to the front line, is seriously disrupted. Secondly, the production capacity of the enemy’s military-industrial complex is sharply reduced. Finally, thirdly, the plans of some Western states regarding the deployment of their armory factories on the territory of Ukraine.

Well, that’s wonderful. It's better to spend money on buying electricity than weapons...

Well, it's weird.

Some details have emerged from the Ukrainian energy operator. It goes without saying that with any deficit, the defense industry will be in a privileged position.

“Ukraine’s energy system operator warned that on April 18 it could introduce power outages for industry throughout the country due to energy shortages. The Ministry of Energy reports that emergency imports were resumed in the morning.

“The dispatch center of NEC Ukrenergo reports that on April 18 from 8.00 to 22.00 it may be necessary to apply controlled restrictions on the power supply to industrial consumers (power limitation schedules),” the Ukrainian energy system operator reports.
According to him, shutdowns will be applied evenly to business and industrial enterprises in all regions of Ukraine. They are not used only for critical infrastructure facilities and defense enterprises."

, the production capacity of the enemy’s military-industrial complex is sharply reduced.

Why aren't they destroyed?

[oleg-nekrasov-19]

They (Zelensky and company) spend money on “summer houses” on the US coast (as one of the US congressmen correctly noted), and EU and state taxpayers spend money on electricity and weapons and, of course, all this is generously flavored with the blood of ordinary Ukrainians.

[Lako]

Well, if there are no brains, then let Europe continue to pull the yoke called Ukraine. Let's see how much strength is enough. And there is still winter ahead.

[solar]

They don't spend anything. There is an offset for such cases.

We urgently need to go through the flow substations so that they sit by the splinters, and roll out the cast iron, let them eat the quinoa!

Why completely? can’t take out the energy system of the Outskirts? - and it should have been done two years ago

[Vladimir Vladimirovich Vorontsov]

“Why completely? Can’t we stand the energy system of the Outskirts?” —

[Vladimir Mikhalev]

Not so simple. After the removal of the Dnieper Hydroelectric Station, for example, they were supplied with 150 generators. That is, small closed power supply systems. And there we already need 150 destructive ammunition.

This is not a solution to the issue.
I was surprised myself, but the resource of such generators is insignificant when used around the clock; after six months they will have to be thrown away. This time.
And their efficiency is so-so. That's two.

[Vladimir Mikhalev]

There's a lot going on in the production of drones. Well, of course, export to the locals.

They are not used around the clock; they are used for emergency situations, covering load peaks and redundancy.

Just excellent. How much money did they spend on this? How much do they spend on fuel now? Any such network is generally more expensive to operate than when using large power plants, and this does not take into account the congestion of communication routes, which would also need to be reduced

[Lptsk]

There's a ton of energy in the wires. Gas stations constantly produce hydrocarbons, which are also exported internally. but the problem is that the inside needs to be distributed, smoothed, etc. and so on. smoothing power is lost. And this is very bad for egergetics

There are graphite bombs. The warhead is graphite powder. Graphite is a conductor of electricity. NATO successfully used them in Yugoslavia, completely destroying the energy system. We either don’t have such bombs or our humanism borders on crime.

Adequate replacement...
What if each apartment has a generator? Then the power system is not needed. Again, there is savings on wires - you can hand them over to non-ferrous metal.
And the enemy, us, that is, is again in an ambush - several million missiles against Kyiv alone.

The railway, of course, cannot be powered by generators, but steam locomotives were invented long ago, and there is still firewood in Ukraine. Diesel locomotives are better, of course, but where to get fuel? Europe won’t give so much; they themselves smoke bamboo after all the sanctions.

Who suggested bombing the nuclear power plant?

The production technology is such that nuclear power plants often require recharge from external sources to ensure safe operation of the nuclear power plant

[bone1]

What kind of recharge is there when the reactors are turned off?

But not everything is so simple... This is the technological process. In this case, read why the IAEA is so concerned about the fate of the Zaporozhye NPP, disconnected from the Ukrainian energy system

[bone1]

And what’s wrong with the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant? - and the IAEA is only concerned about the fact that at the plant we - the Ukrainians’ shelling of the station didn’t bother them

[bk316]

What do you mean?
For cooling.
The spent fuel must be cooled for years.

Certainly. Otherwise, there wasn’t much sense in all this noise.

[Ezekiel 25-17]

Now it is imperative to decommunize the nuclear power plant.

[paul3390]

Meaning? You can't go far with support nuclear power plants alone - how to smooth out consumption peaks? No - you can, of course, like in France, play with the power of the reactors - but they were specially designed for this from the very beginning. We also tried this in Chernobyl - no one liked it...

[bk316]

Meaning?

Well, that would be the nail in the coffin.
It is necessary to set up a 750 kV substation.
Then the nuclear power plants will shut down and switch to self-sufficiency.
It's just a design situation, but not a standard one.
Khokhly can repeat Chernobyl.
But we don't need it.

[Incvizitor]

Let them repeat it if it doesn’t affect us

[solar]

No - you can, of course, like in France, play with the power of the reactors - but they were specially designed for this from the very beginning.

In the overall balance, nuclear power plants in France account for 70 percent. In Ukraine - 55-60 in different years.

How to smooth out consumption peaks?

Or import supplies on offset or disconnection of unimportant consumers during peak hours.

[begemot20091]

Do not touch the nuclear power plant. and the lines and substations around them are completely gone. and slightly “THIN” the cooling system at the Rivne station so that the Poles get nervous.

[Dutchman Michel]

Kyiv has already turned to EU partners for help

Skakly are just asking!

[Joker62]

There is a deficit in the energy system of Ukraine

Excellent!
Continue in this spirit to destroy the entire energy structure of “404” to the point of being a kerosene stove and a torch!

[Tikhonov_Alexander]

Destroy distribution substations through which electricity flows from nuclear power plants to the network. Not all at once, but gradually. And the dill will simply be forced to shut down the reactors of one, another, third, etc. nuclear power plant - so a significant part of the outskirts will be left without electricity. For some reason, after several significant attacks on the thermal power plant, they stopped again...

[bk316]

It would be nice but scary.
There is an authoritative opinion that Ukrainians will keep the generation going until the last minute.
And this is the risk of Chernobyl. And every year there are fewer and fewer specialists in 404.
And it won’t seem like it will explode.

[Tikhonov_Alexander]

We can start with the westernmost nuclear power plant, and then declare that we will continue if there are still attacks on the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant.

[Bully]

For some reason, after several significant attacks on the thermal power plant, they stopped again...

This was expected, since the strikes were not and are not systemic in nature, but are exclusively an educational action in response to the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ attempts to inflict financial damage on the home-grown bourgeoisie from the fuel and energy complex

[Tikhonov_Alexander]

Your version is also possible. But another possibility is also possible: different clans of our bourgeoisie are trying to push through their own, they cannot agree - either to cut off power to Bandera’s followers, or to show how peace-loving we are and how sorry we are for the dill. Our guarantor said that we are one people with them! And that’s why they didn’t hit the thermal power plant in winter...

[Andobor]

I suspect that this is exactly what our rudders were trying to achieve - to hang the energy supply of Ukraine, at least partially, on Europe, they feel sorry for their brothers-in-law, last year they cut off exports, they need to get into the Stone Age a little differently, and I won’t say that it’s much more expensive.

[Zoldat_A]

And what? Good move... Let the European windmills work hard... They themselves don’t have much electricity after the “SP”, and then there are additional “begs” from Kyiv.

[Roust]

It is more effective to revive demographics in the dark.
However, almost no one. Well, maybe the blacks will come down from Africa.

[Puz Big]

I am ready to help free of charge (on my part) in this difficult matter! )))

[couch]

and where, excuse me, were you before? After all, we have been marking time in almost the same place for 2 long years. Why not hit the pipes of the thermal power plant? after all, the draft on the boilers will immediately disappear, so the generation will become

[Thrifty]

What prevents us from using graphite bombs and massively burning power lines, immediately depriving entire cities of Ukraine of electricity?

[Sergei Viktorovich Korolev]

You can always make candles and pinch a splinter.

[Carlos Hall]

Now that they are on the brink of death, the attack on their energy infrastructure must continue.

[Irek]

In Europe they themselves have a shortage of electricity, and you are also stuck here with pan-headed beggars.

[Incvizitor]

We need to knock everything out there, put them completely under the support of the gay union.

[old64]

The EU partners will certainly help several more millionaires in Ukraine to become “educated”. Corruption in the outskirts is rampant. There was a story about the provision of help to caring people in the outskirts with generators; soon these generators surfaced for sale on marketplace sites.

If there is a solar eclipse, then in Ukraine they won’t even notice it.... It’s there every day now!!
