Baltic atomic throwing

47
The Western “democratic fraternity” is turning into a unique association that introduces or is about to impose sanctions even against what is not. Rave? Perhaps ... But not for those states which, while trading in their national interests, are ready to appease the "main" partner with all their strength and capabilities. One of the latest attempts to please is the appeal of the leadership of the Republic of Lithuania to its neighbors with a call to abandon the acquisition of "dirty" energy from the Baltic and Belarusian nuclear power plants.

The piquancy of the situation lies in the fact that neither the Belarusian nor the Baltic NPP produce electricity for the simple reason that there are no stations themselves. According to the original plan, the construction of the first power unit of BaltNPP in the Nemansky district of the Kaliningrad region should be completed in 2017, and the first power unit of the Belarusian (Ostrovets) nuclear power plant should produce the first energy a year later.

Lithuanian authorities stated that Estonia and Latvia should have considered issues of refusing to buy electricity from the BNPP and BaltAES for the future, since the energy of Russia and Belarus will be extremely “dirty”, and this “does not meet the rules and regulations of the European Union.” In addition, official Vilnius states that Russia and Belarus are going to take advantage of "unfair competition conditions" and "seize part of the energy market in Eastern Europe."

What kind of “unfair competition” are we talking about? Speaking about the fact that a number of EU countries, including the “three sisters” from the Baltic States, some time ago expressed their readiness to abandon the operation of nuclear power plants, adding that these generating facilities are harmful to the environment and do not comply with “green” European principles. . Well, if they do not comply, we can build nuclear power plants on our territory and sell the missing megawatts of electricity to Eastern Europe, they decided in the Union State of Russia and Belarus.

In Lithuania, it was realized that after stopping the Ignalina NPP, which supplied the Baltics with electricity, put into operation by the Soviet “occupiers” in 1983, sooner and later it would be necessary to buy electricity from its eastern neighbors. At the same time, they clearly recalled in Vilnius that the European partners "strongly asked" to stop the work of the Ignalina nuclear power plant — they allocated about € 380 million euros for closing. More than two thousand Lithuanian citizens eventually lost their jobs, and the power grid lost 1500 MW of electricity.

Baltic atomic throwing


In order not to be the only ones, I'm sorry, suckers, the Lithuanians now want to enlist the support of Estonia and Latvia. They say, since we have conserved the power plant at the behest of Brussels, then let's at least say together that we will not buy electricity from Russians and Belarusians - like “we will impose sanctions” ...

Lithuanian Energy Minister Rokas Masiulis went to meet with the Estonian ministers and after the meeting announced the achievement of consensus on this issue. Masiulisa quotes BNS:
In this case, our opinions are completely the same. (Estonian Minister) Michal agrees that solutions must be found on how to limit the entry of “dirty” atomic energy into the member states of the European Union (EU). We agreed that our specialists should start work right now and look for options.


In a couple of weeks, a meeting of the so-called Baltic Council of Ministers will be held, where they will convince official Riga to announce in advance about the refusal to purchase energy from future nuclear power units in Belarus and the Kaliningrad region.

Masiulis:
We will ask that this issue be put on the agenda in Latvia - the specialists and officials of the three countries will begin to consider the issue.


The question of where the “liberated from the hated Soviet occupation” Balts are going to take electricity automatically arose automatically if the Ignalina nuclear power plant was conserved, like many European nuclear power plants? The answer to this question can be the statement of the same Rokas Masiulis, who said that Vilnius, Riga and Tallinn are ready to discuss the construction of a nuclear power plant on Lithuanian territory. We are talking about the Visaginas nuclear power plant, which was originally planned for construction with the participation of both Lithuania and Latvia and Poland. Waited for the arrival of Japanese investors.

The initial plans were dated 2009, then the accident at Fukushima happened, and Japanese investors became, to put it mildly, tense ... Then all those companies that, as they say, started for health, refused to invest in the project ... Apparently, at least to save face, the Lithuanian authorities decided to hold a referendum on the expediency or inexpediency of building a nuclear power plant.

A referendum on all the laws of the new Lithuanian democracy showed the result that Brussels wanted: 65% of citizens opposed the construction. The face was saved ... But with a saved face, you also need somewhere to take energy ... As a way out - to buy either from Russia or from Belarus. But this is the real Baltic "Zrada", and therefore Dahl is tearing ... nerves to convince partners that we should forget about the results of the 2012 referendum of the year (or announce a new referendum with new results) and start building the Visyaginskaya NPP with attracting foreign capital . Moreover, the United States is, as it were, FOR, as the Lithuanian nuclear power plant (if it is built) will use technologies and equipment of American companies - in particular, Westinghouse.

At the moment, the construction of the Baltic NPP is suspended until it is ascertained how the situation will develop with the nuclear energy market in the same Baltic region. At this moment, Lithuania is trying to compensate for the shortage of electricity, including with the help of the 450-kilometer connection of power lines with Sweden, which supplied voltage to the converter in Klaipeda. The system is still in test mode. For Sweden, the “emotional throwing” of the Baltics is a gift of fate, because if the Visaginas NPP remains in the plans, plus there will be no electricity purchases from the territory of Belarus and the Kaliningrad region, the Swedish energy export will grow by about 70%! The purchase of electricity from Sweden will cost the Balts approximately 40% more expensive than purchases from its eastern neighbors. But do the additional expenses from the budget of someone in the Baltic political panopticon worry us when it comes to another attempt to bite Russia or at least yelp eastwards ...

        They are "individuals who have not fully revealed their potential", nuclear energy is recognized by experts as the cleanest, in comparison with wind turbines, solar panels and hydroelectric power plants, if we compare the ecological footprint. Moreover, even if we focus on the technologies of the 70s, and since then the nuclear power industry has stepped far ahead, and received working fast neutron reactors. But ... they are only in Russia, the European Union is not so advanced in science.

      The classic version of the victory of ideology over reason!

      Remember the congresses of people's deputies of the USSR and the parade of sovereignty. In 1988-1989, the Baltic states hoped that politically leaving the USSR, the Baltic states could economically remain in the USSR, and plans were such that they would receive raw materials and energy sources at Soviet prices from the USSR to sell finished goods inside the USSR at world prices and for a convertible currency. This plan failed and the Balts had to leave the USSR in 1990 without brashing. From this the collapse of the Baltic economy began. And now the elbow is close, but you can’t bite.

    It seems to me that this is not Baltic behavior. A normal trade war. The economic deterrence that we were promised (you know who). In fact, I think it's even good that they fussed in advance. Just by the time construction is completed, it will already be clear how many power units are needed, whether this energy is needed in the EU or not, and what capacity the NPP should be, exclusively for domestic needs or with export potential.

        I am afraid that they wanted to build the Baltic nuclear power plant primarily for the sale of energy to the Baltic states or to the EU. If they don’t buy, then they won’t pay off, and the Kaliningrad region alone is not enough for her, so they froze the construction site to find out, all the more now there is no extra money. Although if you build in parallel some kind of plant that will produce something you need, it can pay off, but it is better to build such a bunch not in Kaliningrad, but somewhere in the center of the country, just in case ..

    It’s a very sad article, in fact, it’s not so bad. Naturally, Lithuania’s decision not to buy energy from these nuclear power plants under construction, since they are not safe (no one wants to repeat the Chernobyl tragedy), doesn’t affect their construction, but here’s a ban on the purchase of energy The European Union, at the request of Lithuania, this will already be serious. Therefore, the European Union provided Belarus with 12-point safety requirements for nuclear power plants. They are being examined there right now.
    Despite the statements of our minister, in Lithuania there are many power engineers who seriously consider the interaction of our hydro-accumulation station in Kruonis with the future Belarusian nuclear power plant. As world experience shows, this is very profitable. This station, under the USSR, was built to work in conjunction with the Ignalina nuclear power plant.

    Abram - takes the drill:

    - Look, Ivan: I’m giving you the ruble, but you’ll drink it now, therefore, I won’t give you the ruble, but you will not owe me two rubles, but only one. Go in peace.

    In the Kaliningrad region, traditionally, questions are not completely resolved. At one time we were fed from Ignalina, now from our sources, but the network remained old, and our energy goes to Lithuania, and then comes back. Dibilism, but they did not give money to redo everything. Now, after the Crimea, they promised to give. But you need big investments. You will laugh, but most of the area is powered by 15kV German pre-war substations. It was not possible to change them, since there was no such standard and such transformers were not produced. We must pay tribute to the Kaliningrad electricians, who have maintained these substations in working condition for 70 years. As for the generation, the electric eggs we have in one basket. With a technological failure at the main CHPP-2, without creep, 80% of the region remained. To avoid this, the BNPP was built. And the closure of Ignalina was a prerequisite for Lithuania's accession to the EU.
