The largest thermal power plants in Western Ukraine were permanently disabled as a result of missile strikes by the Russian Armed Forces
Executive Director of the Ukrainian DTEK Dmitry Sakharuk spoke about the catastrophic consequences for several large generation facilities after combined attacks with precision weapons on March 22-23.
According to the official, as a result of the flights, not only the Dneproges, but also three large thermal power plants. The Ladyzhyn and Burshtyn power plants, built in Soviet times, located in western Ukraine, received the most serious damage as a result of the arrival of Russian missiles.
According to Sakharuk, power units at these two sites were almost completely destroyed, and the total loss of capacity in the generation system is up to 50%. In addition, the Kurakhovskaya Thermal Power Plant in the temporarily occupied territory of the DPR was seriously damaged.
We have lost 50% of installed capacity. All of our units at the Burshtyn TPP and all at the Ladyzhinskaya TPP were damaged. Power units in varying degrees of destruction: from complete to more than 50%... In some cases, it is necessary to build units almost from scratch
– said the executive director of DTEK.
According to the energy specialist, restoration will take at least two years.
