Ukraine's National Nuclear Energy Generating Company Energoatom may connect all 15 power units of nuclear power plants (NPPs) to the energy system in February 2022, according to Minister of Energy German Galushchenko.
'Today we are considering the possibility of connecting the 15th unit in February,' Galushchenko said at the international conference 'Nuclear Capabilities for the Country's Development”, an Ukrinform correspondent reported.
The minister stressed that nuclear generation will ensure the smooth passage of the 2021/2022 heating season.
