Ukraine received power equipment with the capacity of one nuclear power unit
Ukraine has received power equipment with a total capacity comparable to one unit of a nuclear power plant. This was stated by the Vice Prime Minister for the Restoration of Ukraine Oleksiy Kuleba.
What exactly did Ukraine get?
According to the official, it is a set of power equipment that is equivalent in total capacity to the operation of one full-fledged nuclear power unit. This significantly increases the resilience of the power system against the background of constant attacks and peak loads.
The resulting capacities can be used as backup or temporary sources of power supply.
Mobile solutions for critical services
Kuleba also announced the decision to create a national reserve of mobile power equipment. Its main task is to ensure continuous operation:
treatment facilities
heat and water supply systems
basic infrastructure facilities
The reserve will allow us to quickly maintain vital services during emergencies and repairs.
Protecting people during cold weather
According to the Vice Prime Minister, special attention is paid to the winter period, when any power outages have critical consequences for the population.
Mobile power equipment will allow us to respond quickly to grid damage and minimise the impact of outages on people's lives.
Strengthening energy resilience
Ukraine has been systematically building up backup capacity and decentralised energy sources in response to attacks on its energy infrastructure. Such solutions are seen as a key element in protecting civilian infrastructure and community stability.
