And about. The head of Ukrenergo, Vsevolod Kovalchuk, and the head of the Ministry of Energy, Igor Nasalik, proposed that the Cabinet of Ministers introduce an emergency situation in the electricity market due to a shortage of anthracite coal.
Kovalchuk also said that if an emergency situation is introduced in the energy sector, Ukraine’s anthracite reserves will last for 40 days. On the morning of February 13, the total reserves of anthracite at all thermal power plants were only 842 thousand tons.
Also, Kharkov, Dnepropetrovsk, Kyiv, Chernigov, Zaporozhye, Sumy and Cherkasy regions have been instructed to hold headquarters for emergency and man-made situations.
“The headquarters of these regions must analyze crisis situations that may be associated with limited energy supply... First of all, to provide the population with energy and heat. Also consider the work of industrial enterprises operating in a continuous mode from the point of view of daily peak load schedules,” noted Deputy Prime Minister Gennady Zubko.
Earlier, the Minister of Energy and Coal Industry Igor Nasalik said that Ukraine’s refusal of anthracite from Donbass would cost UAH 15 billion. He also said that Ukraine does not yet plan to import coal from Russia, but purchases are possible if its price is the lowest on the market.
Let us recall that on December 26 last year, ATO militants announced a blockade of Donbass. Former acting The chief of staff of the Aidar battalion, Valentin Likholit, promised not to allow metal, coal, wood and industrial batches of alcohol and cigarettes through. One of the organizers of the blockade is nationalist activist Anatoly Vinorohodsky; people’s deputies, in particular Semyon Semenchenko, Vladimir Parasyuk and Taras Pastukh, also take part in the “blockade”.
