Turkey will provide Ukraine with floating power plants
Floating platforms are planned to be located in the ports of Romania and Moldova
The Ukrainian national company JSC ‘Energy Company of Ukraine’ (EKU) signed a memorandum with the Turkish manufacturer Karpowership on the supply of floating power plants for the needs of our country. They will be able to provide electricity to 1 million households.
This is reported by Anadolu with reference to the statements of Karpowership.
Floating platforms are planned to be located in the ports of Romania and Moldova, and then transport electricity through the networks of the mentioned countries. ECU and Karpowership will hold negotiations with Bucharest and Chisinau regarding the implementation of the described decision.
The signed memorandum stipulates that floating power plants with a total capacity of 500 megawatts will promptly start producing electricity for Ukraine’s needs. Karpowership representative Zeynep Kharezi positively commented on cooperation with EKU. According to her, the use of the company’s technologies will help Ukraine to overcome the energy crisis, which was provoked by the attacks of the Russian invaders.
‘Ukraine’s energy system was subjected to 12 massive Russian attacks. While the war continues, building new power units to restore lost or damaged generating capacity is impossible, and we need to find innovative solutions to overcome the current crisis.
‘Karpowership technology allows us to relatively quickly deploy new generating capacities with the aim of targeting the Ukrainian grid’, – noted General Director of JSC ‘EKU’ Vitaliy Butenko.
Turkish company Karpowership has a fleet of 36 energy ships that connect directly to countries’ power grids in less than 30 days, using existing infrastructure with minimal intervention. Karpowership vessels run on a variety of fuels, run on natural gas/LNG, low sulfur liquid fuel
