The energy equipment that Lithuania and other countries may transfer to Ukraine does not have to be installed at facilities that were damaged by Russian missile attacks.
This is stated in the material of Apostrophe.
As previously reported, Lithuania has expressed its readiness to transfer equipment from its shutdown power plants, in particular, the Vilnius CHPP, to Ukraine. Our country desperately needs such equipment, as many energy facilities have been damaged or even destroyed by enemy missile strikes.
Ukraine hopes that other allies will also share relevant equipment from shutdown power plants.
However, there is a nuance.
"We need to understand the capacity we are talking about. If it is a station of up to 50 megawatts, then it makes sense. If we are talking about larger power plants, then it makes no sense, because how will it all be transported?" Gennadiy Ryabtsev, head of special projects at the Scientific and Technical Center Psyche, explained to Apostrophe.
At the same time, it is very important that the small size of the power facilities (disassembled in their country and reassembled in ours) will allow for decentralization of power supply, which will make the relevant infrastructure less vulnerable to missile attacks.
According to Gennadiy Ryabtsev, foreign equipment and other elements of thermal power plants can be used to create small thermal power facilities in Ukraine from scratch, and not necessarily on the territory of existing thermal power plants and CHP plants that have suffered from enemy shelling - they can be installed almost anywhere.
