the Import of electricity from Russia and Belarus, initiated by the amendment of the head of the parliamentary energy Committee, Andrei Gerus, led to the fact that 3537 jobs in coal mines, washeries and thermal power plants were not in demand. These figures are cited communications Director of "DTEK Energo" Irina Milutin on the page to Facebook.
"the Import of electricity from Russia and Belarus in the SECOND half of the year amounted to 1142 million kWh. As producers from Ukraine are not allowed to supply electricity to Belarus and Russia, this value should be reduced production at thermal power plants in Ukraine", — said the Director of communications of "DTEK Energo".
According to Milutinovi, imports from Russia and Belarus in the second half of 2019, more than two times exceeded the production of electricity in, for example, kryvorizka TPP, where the work of 1470 employees.
"What is 1142 million kWh in six months? For comparison, the electricity supply for the 2nd half of 2019: kryvorizka TPP 513 million kWh (1470 employees), Lugansk TPP 624 million kWh (1340 employees), Prydniprovska TPP 710 million kWh (1320 employees), Dobrotvorskaya TPP 954 million kWh (1250 employees). In fact, according to the "laws of Gerus" by a unilateral import of electricity was unclaimed 1,500 jobs to the power station," — said Milyutin.
imported from Russia and Belarus 1142 million kWh is equivalent to approximately 550 thousand tons of coal. The average productive capacity of 270 tons per person this made the unclaimed 2037 jobs in mines and enrichment factories, said communications Director of "DTEK Energo".
"we get a total of 1500 plus 2037 still 3537 jobs. These are real numbers. When Gerus says that the import is competition, in the case of Russia and Belarus there is no competition, there is a one way delivery with a negative effect for workplaces in Ukraine", — said Milyutin.
"Even the most General estimates indicate catastrophic damage done to Ukraine is a reckless (or worse, deliberate) actions of lobbyists imports of electricity", — summed up Director of communications "DTEK Energo".
As previously reported, the commercial import of electricity from Russia for the first time after a four year break resumed after making changes in September 18 passed the Law of Ukraine "On amendments to some laws of Ukraine in the sphere of nuclear energy use". The initiator of the edits were a member of the "servant of the people", the head of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on energy Andrew Gerus. A member of the same Committee Oleksiy Kucherenko claimed that the edit Gerus made in violation of the rules of Parliament.
4 December a bill No. 2233, which is the import of electricity from Russia is limited to segments of the market "bilateral contracts" and "vnutricletocny market" while the supply pricing to the market "day ahead" left completely open. In addition, the bill No. 2233 is entitled to the Cabinet of Ministers at any time to restore the import of electricity from Russia on "bilateral treaties" and "vnutricletocny the market."
