Most large Ukrainian thermal power plants run out of coal within 10 days

In the afternoon of October 23, Slavyanskaya TPP (owned by Donbassenergo PJSC) stopped working on the territory of Donetsk region controlled by Kiev. Both power units, designed to operate on different grades of coal, fuel oil and the possibility of using seasonal surpluses of natural gas, have been shut down and no longer generate electricity.

At the same time, Donbassenergo PJSC reported that the Slavyanskaya TPP in 2020 produced almost 3,11 GWh of electricity, consuming 1073365 tons of coal equivalent (89,83%), gas - 122106 tce (10,15%) and fuel oil - 208 to.f. (0,02%).



The Ministry of Energy of Ukraine clarified that the said TPP has been operating in maneuvering mode since 2015. By the evening of October 22nd, there was a maximum of 50 hours of coal in the warehouse. According to the ministry, a number of other TPPs in Ukraine are also running out of coal reserves. More than XNUMX% of all power units of state-owned thermal power plants have been shut down due to the lack of "solid fuel".

The state power transmission operator NEC Ukrenergo informed that at Tripolskaya, Zmievskaya, Krivorozhskaya, Zaporozhskaya, Burshtynskaya, Uglegorskaya and Kurakhovskaya TPPs, coal reserves remain for less than 10 days. Thus, most of the large Ukrainian thermal power plants will soon run out of coal.

At the end of September, coal prices in Europe reached a record high in the last 13 years. The cost reached $ 137 per tonne for delivery in 2022. In early October, prices for these energy raw materials soared even more, exceeding $ 300 per ton, which was a record in two decades. In Asia, prices are even higher.

Ukraine is faced with an acute deficit of a corner. Coal purchases in Russia, Australia, South Africa, Colombia and other countries have become problematic as coal miners re-target more lucrative markets. At the same time, Kiev categorically refuses to buy coal from the “separatists” of the LPR and DPR so as not to sponsor “terrorism”.

    Of course, it hurts to punish ordinary Ukrainians for the action of their inadequate power, but otherwise Russia cannot change something (change for the better). Ukraine will have to go through hell to be born again. In this context, if the reports are to be believed, Europe faces an acute shortage of fertilizers for next year, which Russia could mitigate. Refuse Ukraine in the sale of fertilizers. Ukraine has introduced a ban on the purchase of such from Russia and now thinks this ban to be lifted, tk. without fertilizers, this is a complete finish. Will Russia sell fertilizers to Ukraine? How much should Ukraine be deprived of its economy, so that Ukrainians would realize the economic ties of their country, its capabilities, European solidarity, American generosity and concern of their government? Only they themselves can change something, Ukrainians! and not the oligarchs with their dolls living on its territory.
