The anti-crisis energy staff has recommended the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine to introduce a state of emergency in the energy system of the country.
The decision was made at a meeting dedicated to the consideration of problematic issues in the energy sector, as well as heating companies’ passing the 2016/2017 autumn-winter season in Kyiv.
As reported, earlier Minister of Energy and Coal Industry Ihor Nasalyk spoke at this meeting with the corresponding initiative.
According to him, the list of emergency measures, in particular, would include minimizing the use of thermal power plants running on anthracite.
Head of Ukrenergo Vsevolod Kovalchuk, in turn, said on Feb. 13 anthracite stocks in the warehouses of thermal power plants make up 842,000 tonnes and these reserves will be enough for 40 days of work.
“But keep in mind that at different stations the situation varies from 14 to 100 days,” he said.
