Smth to watch out for on Feb 24-26:
During these days Ukraine plans 1st stage of testing its power system (PS) in isolated mode from PSs of Russia & Belarus
The ultimate goal is integration of Ukraine's PS into that of Continental Europe @ENTSO_E in 2023
ubn.news/preparation-fo…
Acc. to @khabatiuk, Ukraine's integration with ENTSO-E is a very painful process for Russia for ideological and geopolitical reasons.

So we may see serious developments and attacks from Russia in the energy sector during the coming weeks, including interruption of fuel supplies.
Notwithstanding the possible difficulties amid the increased tensions, @NPCUkrenergo says Ukraine's power system is fully prepared, carrying out the test is expected on the set dates.

So what may happen after Ukraine’s power system tests in isolation this week?

Russia may use this opportunity and find excuse to not connect back to their PS

This would deplete Ukraine’s fuel reserves quickly & lead to troubles

This could also push 🇺🇦 to ask join @ENTSO_E asap
More info about what power system testing in isolated mode will look like in this 16.02.2022 release by @NPCUkrenergo (in English): ua.energy/general-news/u…

What could be the troubles connected with this risky and yet historic event (in Russian):
So it actually happened. 🇺🇦’s power system is now working in isolated mode. All the critical infrastructures objects, including power plants, are under police/military protection.
Ukraine going ahead with the plans. Country’s power system keeps normal operation 💙💛
Today’s report of @UkrenergoNPC:

«During the evening peak of consumption on February 24, Ukraine’s power system is operating in normal way. The frequency is controlled at level of 50 Hz…
Connection with Kakhovska HPP and Chornobyl NPP has been lost»

ua.energy/general-news/o…
It’s a crucial moment to #SupportUkraine🇺🇦 and its energy sector.

Ukraine’s power system has to be connected to the 🇪🇺EU one @ENTSO_E as soon as possible: ecoaction.org.ua/ask_to_connect…

@EU_Commission @greencubator @ecodiya @Germanwatch @FSR_Energy @IEA @AgoraEW @UkrainianEnergy
Excellent news! Thank you @KadriSimson 🙏🇺🇦🇪🇺
⚡️The political willingness is here
Ukraine's energy professionals are true heroes
Here is what international community thinks of their work (taken from Linkedin): Image
The initial plan was that 🇺🇦Ukraine’s power system joins @ENTSO_E🇪🇺 in 2023. #RussianAggression speeded everything up.
The most important good news of today so far: 🇺🇦Ukraine’s power system is synchronised with the 🇪🇺EU one!

Human suffering is not enough. Russia adds an environmental disaster on top.

They bombed an oil depot in the town of Vasylkiv not far from Kyiv

#StopRussianAggression
Explosion in Kharkiv. Gas pipeline damaged.
Ah wait, I already have two tweets about Russia’s war crimes damaging the environment.

On top of occupation of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant of course.

So this now becomes a thread.

Stay tuned and #SupportUkraine #StopRussianAggression to make sure the thread stops here.

This is the city where I was born. Right now.
The explosions lasted for about 30 mins and according to locals were the most powerful ones so far during these three days. Now the city is silent again.
Don't know if you've realised this yet but one more thing Ukrainians are great at is joking. Even when their own house is burning.

There are international scientists/nuclear experts who start theorising and saying that the danger of negative consequences from a strike at Chernobyl confinement is low.

I asked a Chernobyl power plant worker if this is true. Here is his response 👇 Image
Special hello to all those experts who say there is no need to worry about #Chernobyl NPP during war time 👇
Statement of Ukraine's Ministry of Environment regarding seizure of the Chernobyl zone by Russian troops 👇
