Het kabinet nam eind juli een actieplan aan voor de komende winter waarin is vastgelegd dat er op 1 november 2,8 miljoen ton kolen in voorraad moet zijn bij de elektriciteitscentrales. Op 2 oktober werd echter door Oekrenergo geconstateerd dat er 1,3 miljoen kolen voorhanden is. Twee dagen later meldde het staatsbedrijf dat de aanvoer van kolen goed op gang is gekomen.

Ukrenergo warns of
blackouts in winter citing high-cost power generation
Acting Director of state-run company Ukrenergo Vsevolod Kovalchuk does
not rule out power blackouts during the winter period because of a high
price of coal and gas, according to Ukraine's weekly newspaper Zerkalo
Nedeli.

Kovalchuk noted that in case of a coal deficit, gas and fuel fed power
units at the Zaporizhia and Trypilska thermal power plants (TPPs) may be
put into operation and preference will be given to consume more natural
gas for electricity generation.
At this, Kovalchuk admitted the price of electricity produced from gas
would be quite high.
"Yes, the price will be much higher as compared to coal-based
generation, but it is for the sake of the country's energy system
stability. Other options will be much more expensive, or consumption
will have to be reduced -- in cycles, without massive power cuts," he
said.

As UNIAN reported earlier, in late July, the Cabinet of Ministers
approved an action plan to prepare for the 2016-2017 heating season.
According to the plan, the country intends to accumulate 2.8 million
tonnes of coal in warehouses of thermal power plants by November 1,
2016.
Meanwhile, coal stocks in TPPs warehouses, as of October 2, amounted to
1.3 million tonnes, according to Ukrenergo.
On October 4, Ukrenergo announced that coal supplies to Ukrainian TPPs
were stable, and the schedule had slipped only by four days.
