Ukraine will be able to export electricity to Europe even without the capacity of the Zaporizhia NPP. But it is important that the energy system works stably.
About this 24 channelsYury Korolchuk, an expert at the Institute of Energy Strategies, said. According to him, even during the heating season, Ukraine will have a certain surplus of electricity that can be exported to Europe.
These will not be extremely large-scale volumes, but Ukraine will be able to export a certain amount of electricity to Poland, where they recently asked help with this.
Even without ZNPP we will be able to export electricity in the conditions of stable operation of the energy system. This can be at best up to 5 billion kilowatt-hours per year. This is a high figure. And at current prices, it's still a lot of money. Although, of course, they may decrease somewhat,” Korolchuk noted.
However, it is very important to protect the relevant infrastructure. The recent attack by the Russians on Kharkiv CHPP-5 once again proves that the occupiers are engaged in outright terrorism.
Will Ukraine be able to supply its own gas to Europe
According to Korolchuk, it is unlikely< /strong>that Ukraine will export gas to Europe this heating season. So far, it has not even been possible to pump 15 billion cubic meters into storage facilities. He predicts that this figure will be about 14.5 billion cubic meters of gas.
However, in the future, Ukraine will be able to establish a small gas export. After all, because of the war, it is less consumed in industry. Therefore, Ukraine could sell a certain reserve. In his opinion, in an optimistically stable future, this figure will be about billion cubic meters of gas.
Unfortunately, this is true. We don't need him now. It would be better if the industry consumed it here, people would have jobs, and enterprises would earn on the export of goods or domestic sales,” Korolchuk added.
Add, according to American General Ben Hodges, the world needs to prepare for the collapse of Russia. The main thing is that the collapse of the occupiers does not turn into uncontrollable and chaotic. He named three factors that could bring Russia to collapse.
