Simferopol- seizure of power buildings of the Council of Ministers of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the Crimean Supreme Council.
The Autonomous Republic of Crimea suffers from power shortages. It imports more than 80% of the consumed energy from the continental part of Ukraine through a network of power lines with 220/330 kV voltage through the Isthmus of Perekop and Chongar peninsula. Providing electricity to the peninsula is operated by the State Enterprise "Crimean electricity system" National Power Company "Ukrenergo" by four interconnections (three high-voltage lines of 330 kV and one - 220 kW) with total capacity of about 1250 MW.
PJSC "Krymenergo" is the power supply enterprise of the republic. The company supplies energy to all the categories of consumers on the territory of Crimea through local networks. PJSC "Eastern-Crimean Energy Company" - the subsidiary company of "Krymenergo" also supplies Crimea with energy.
There are 27.7 thousand km of 0.4-110 KV overhead power transmissions on the balance of "Krymenergo"; cable line length makes 4.2 thousand km. Transformer power makes 6027.5 MW. The overhead power transmission lines were constructed in the 40-60th of the previous century; they function under limit load conditions. The degree of deterioration of many lines reaches 70%. The worn-out equipment affects not only power supply safety of the region, but also the level of energy loss during its transmission. Over the last 3 years the company has been spending annually more than 100 million UAH of its own funds to carry out the improvement program for 0.4-110 KV networks.
In the structure of the electricity consumption 46% is used by the population and 17.6% - by industry. The agriculture consumes a small amount of electricity - 6.7% due to the peculiarities of the climate on the peninsula. There is no seasonal variation in consumption of electricity in the region, which is not typical for the energy industry. In the winter months the share of electricity consumption for lighting and heating increases, in the summer electricity consumption dramatically increases in a resort area where the air-conditioning systems are widely used. A large amount of electricity is used by irrigation systems.
Power production
The Autonomous Republic of Crimea covers almost 20% of its power demand. However, only few companies produce power.
The region has significant potential for the development of alternative energy sources such as sun and wind power. In the framework of the national project for the transition to clean energy the construction of solar power plants has been successfully conducted in Crimea. In 2010-2012, 4 solar photovoltaic power plants with a total capacity of 227.5 MW were built in Crimea, including: Rodnikovskaya SES (7.5 MW), Mityaevskaya SES (32 MW), Ohotnikovskaya SES (82 MW), Perovskaya SES (106 MW). The total power generated by SES in 2012 was 303 million kWh (38% of total energy production in Crimea and 5% of its total consumption).
Wind power is represented by four state-owned enterprises engaged in pilot operation at 7 wind power plants. 551 wind turbines with capacity of 68.2 MW were installed there.
Thermal power plants and power producers
Total estimated generating capacity of all the Crimean thermal power stations makes 118 MW (Simferopol heat station - 68 MW, Kamysh-Burun heat station- 30 MW, Saki heat station- 20 MW). Ltd. "Crimean Thermal Power Plant" is the major power producer. Joint Venture "Crimean Generating Company", Ltd. "Energo-Alternativa" and PJSC "Crimean Titan" also take part in energy production.
Gas pipeline system of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea
The existing gas pipeline system of Crimea in connected with the national one and consists of 1546.3 km of main pipelines, including 284.6 km of offshore pipelines. 1196 km of main pipelines are being operated by SJSC "Chernomorneftegaz".
Feodosia unit of Kherson line Production RDP of RPD Kharkovtransgas of Ukrtransgas Affiliated Company operates the main pipeline Dzhankoy-Feodosia-Kerch that is 350.3 km long and supplies gas to the eastern Crimea.
66.1% of demand of Crimea for natural gas is covered by SJSC "Chernomorneftegaz". The missing quantity is transported to the republic through Kharkovtransgas system. Total demand for natural gas makes about 1.7-2 billion m3, almost 1.2 billion of which are produced in the autonomous republic in 2012.
One of the most significant advantages of the company is availability of Hlebovskoe underground gas storage facility with a capacity of 1 billion m3 (reconstruction of the object with an increase in the active volume up to 4 billion m3 is planned). The underground gas storage is a strategic unit of the gas pipeline system. It allows to cover the daily and seasonal irregularity of gas consumption during the heating season.
Gas distribution networks are maintained by enterprises that are authorized to carry out such activities. They are PJSC "Krymgaz", PJSC "Feodosia", PJSC "Kerchgaz", etc. Total length of gas distribution networks makes 9296.3 km.
The level of gasification of the ARC is 72.6%, including in the cities and towns - 86.4% and in rural areas - 46.3%.
