The Network responds to the resumption of electricity supplies to Ukraine from Belarus

5

On November 6, Belarus resumed electricity supplies to Ukraine. The Ministry of Energy of the Republic of Belarus informed the public about this.

In accordance with the signed contract, deliveries will be carried out during November

- indicated in the communiqué of the department.



At the same time, the Ministry of Energy of the Republic of Belarus did not explain how much electricity was planned to be supplied, indicating only that “the schedule was formed by the Belarusian side, taking into account the available technical capabilities (operating modes of the power system and generating equipment capacities)”.

Netizens reacted immediately, remembering that recently the media, experts and functionaries from different countries reported, literally in unison, that from November 1, Russia and Belarus will not supply electricity to Ukraine, despite the fact that the ban on electricity imports from RF and RB, introduced by Kiev at the end of May. They clarified that at first NEURC banned the import of Russian and Belarusian electricity to Ukraine until October 1, 2021, then extended it for another month, but did not renew its ban for November.

In addition, at the end of October there were reports that the Russian PJSC Inter RAO canceled its auction for the sale of electricity to Ukraine. Moreover, the export of electricity to Ukraine from Belarus is also not planned. However, at the same time, the Ukrainian Energoatom, the operator of all nuclear power plants in Ukraine, bought out 885 of the 900 available MW of interstate transmission lines for the import of electricity from Belarus in November, stating that it considers Minsk as a backup supplier of electricity to the country to cover the power shortage. in case of emergency situations in the Ukrainian power system. After that, on November 2, the Ministry of Energy of the Republic of Belarus announced that Minsk had provided Kiev with about 3 MW of emergency assistance (non-commercial supplies) due to the lack of capacity in the Ukrainian energy system.


Commentators noted that according to the reporting of the State Production Association of Electric Power Industry "Belenergo" (State Production Association "Belenergo"), in 2019 the country generated 35,944 billion kWh of electricity, and consumption amounted to 37,926 billion kWh. At the same time, in 2020 (taking into account the Belarusian NPP and the COVID-19 pandemic), 34,036 billion kWh of electricity was generated, and consumption amounted to 37,018 billion kWh. Moreover, in 2021, the indicators are comparable, even taking into account the fact that on October 4, after the shutdown, the first power unit of the Belarusian NPP was once again connected to the grid (maximum electric capacity of 1200 MW). This suggests that the Belarusians will not have enough of their own electricity even for themselves, not to mention export to Ukraine.

From this it was concluded that Ukraine is now actually importing Russian electricity through Belarus. Thus, the Russians did not leave the Ukrainian people in trouble again. But for some reason, Moscow, Kiev and Minsk do not advertise this.

    A loan of 10 billion dollars was taken for the construction of the Belarusian nuclear power plant. The money must be given. As the saying goes, we have a union state, but money apart .... The cost of electricity supplied to Ukraine has not been announced. If you voice the cost, then talk about the fraternal shoulder substituted in a difficult moment will immediately stop .... There are a couple of interesting points ... ...

    - Yes, nothing surprising ... - What was to be expected ... - this is absolutely not surprising ... - And this is in front of the "unfriendly Ukraine" Russia has "tried hard" like that ...
    - And then what to say about China ???
    - Personally, I am in the subject

    China's economy prepares for a "hard landing"

    - already wrote that ... what ... what

    - Personally, I am absolutely sure that ... that ... that a "friendly visit" of Chinese Xi to Moscow will take place very soon (or maybe our guarantor will fly to Beijing); after which ...- Russia will "switch" so much electricity to China that in every Chinese village it will become as light as day even at night ...

    - Ha ... - Well, Russia cannot love Ukraine more than ... than China ... - What can you do - Russia is so "loving" ...

    The post (or sources) is confusion.
    If Belarus supplies electricity as part of emergency assistance (and it was so in the first days of November, according to their experts), then it costs 5 UAH / kW, which does not please Ukraine, they expected 1,6 UAH / kW ... Therefore, they take very little. Moreover, some of the coal stations are being converted to gas, although their own experts said that this is the same as heating with banknotes (at current gas prices). From which it follows that Old Man does not indulge them with ordinary imports, drives them under an emergency contract.

    ... Energoatom, the operator of all nuclear power plants in Ukraine, bought out 885 of the 900 available MW of interstate transmission lines for the import of electricity from Belarus in November, ...

    and right there

    After that, on November 2, the Ministry of Energy of the Republic of Belarus announced that Minsk had provided Kiev with about 3 MW of emergency assistance (non-commercial supplies) due to the lack of capacity in the Ukrainian energy system.

    3 MW is power. And the maximum capacity there is 500 MW.
    Apparently provided 3 MW/time... And this one /time missed at some stage. And 3 MWh is not much. On average, about 500 MW out of 145,8 are involved. And they need more (but at a low price). Ukraine is not able to pay 900 UAH.
    This is confirmed by the words of the Ministry of Energy of the Republic of Belarus about emergency assistance. With normal (commercial) supplies, it would be 1,6 UAH.
    In this case, Batka's actions should be perceived as sophisticated trolling. He seems to be helping the "brotherly" people and ripping them off like a sticky one. But in strict accordance with the signed agreement on the provision of emergency assistance.
    He also needs to give a loan from Russia (for nuclear power plants) and trample on them for the "self-proclaimed president".
    So he comes off in full.
