The energy independence of Crimea will cost 177 billion rubles

Russia finally decided how Crimea will receive its own light and how much you have to pay for it, Forbes found out. The energy dependence of Crimea now does not exceed 15-16% of the required power.

Part of the energy is given to him by mobile gas turbine power plants transported from the post -Olympic Sochi, and diesel installations in a volume of slightly more than 300 MW.

The deficit is covered by purchases from Ukraine. But Sergey Berdyk, deputy head of the Crimean Committee on Fuel, Innovation Policy and Energy, recalled that from March 23 to 25, Ukrenergo left a 30% peninsula without electricity - residential areas of Yalta, Kerch, Evpatoria, Feodosia and Dzhankoy.

As an alternative, the plan is considered to build power lines along the bridge over the Kerch Strait, which is also planned for construction.
