UKRAINE RECEIVED A SECOND POWERFUL AUTOTRANSFORMER FROM LITHUANIA
Under the coordination of the Ministry of Energy of Ukraine, the Republic of Lithuania has handed over a second powerful autotransformer to Ukraine as part of its cooperation and assistance in rebuilding the power system. It will be installed at a high-voltage substation of the power transmission system and will transform the voltage from the trunk to the distribution level, providing power to up to 200,000 households.
«Lithuania is not just a partner, but also a reliable friend of Ukraine. We are working together to counteract the aggression of russian terrorists on various fronts, including the energy front. The support of Lithuanian partners in the form of powerful equipment helps Ukrainian power engineers not only restore damaged facilities but also strengthen the resilience of the power system. We are grateful to our Lithuanian friends for this support», the Minister of Energy of Ukraine German Galushchenko said.
The Ministry of Energy expresses its gratitude to the donor, LITGRID, as well as to the NGO MELYNA IR GELTONA (BLUE/ YELLOW) and the Embassy of Lithuania in Ukraine for their assistance in the transfer of the autotransformer. The transformer was transported to Ukraine under the EU Civil Protection Mechanism.
As a reminder, under the coordination of the Ministry of Energy, international partners supply energy equipment to Ukraine to restore facilities damaged by russian attacks.
In particular, 67 shipments of humanitarian aid totalling more than 1,286 tonnes have already been delivered from Lithuania. The equipment received includes backup power plants, power transformers, current-voltage transformers, current transformers, voltage transformers and other equipment needed to restore the power system.
