Ukraine asked for emergency assistance from the power system of Slovakia, writes UNIAN with reference to the message of “Ukrenergo”.
“We confirm the accident from the Republic of Belarus (Republic of Belarus – Lenta.ru) to the UES (united energy system – Lenta.ru) of Ukraine 500 MW. We confirm the accident in BuOS (Burshtyn energy island – Lenta.ru) from Slovakia of 100 MW, ”the press service said.
Thus, Kiev asked for assistance from two neighboring countries at once. Earlier, the Belarusian supplies were reported in Minsk. They stressed that there is no talk of new long-term contracts yet.
At the end of October, it became known that the Ukrainian National Commission (NKREKU) decided not to extend the ban on the purchase of electricity from countries that are not members of the Energy Community, that is, from Russia and Belarus, until November. The decision was made due to low coal reserves and the threat of a power shortage.
