Henry Edwardes-Evans of S&P Global has reported on DTEK’s race to rebuild six thermal power stations ahead of next winter.
The article reports how DTEK’s thermal power capacity has been reduced by 80% in a little over a month.
Oleksiy Povolotskiy, DTEK's Head of Office for Energy Infrastructure Recovery said:
"We're contacting our partners around the world but particularly in Europe with regard to donations of used equipment.”
He said incompatibility with many of the energy equipment on offer was “"one reason we must rebuild our energy system as fast as possible in order to move from post-Soviet Union standards to European Union standards.”
As time runs out ahead of the looming winter heating season, he said "We're calling on these countries to contact us — including Bulgaria, Poland, Germany, Greece, Macedonia, Montenegro, Egypt. We know they've decommissioned old thermal or nuclear units, and this could be critical for us as we prepare for winter.”
The piece lists the equipment required as dozens of major components, including six large generators, three turbines, three control systems and over 20 transformers of varying sizes.
