Sergey Aksyonov took part in a meeting on the development of the energy system of the Republic of Crimea and Sevastopol

Sergey Tsivilev focused on the fact that the joint work of federal authorities, as well as the governments of the Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol in the energy sector is the key to successfully resolving the entire range of issues related to the development of this area.

Today, at a meeting on the development of the energy system of Crimea and Sevastopol, the state of energy within the constituent entities was discussed in detail. The energy system of the Kherson and Zaporozhye regions also depends on this. Today we not only heard reports from specialists, but also examined specific projects. They also talked about the construction of electrical energy storage facilities in the Republic of Crimea. I would like to note the coordinated work of regional teams, all enterprises operating in Crimea and Sevastopol, – said the Minister of Energy of Russia.

At the same time, Sergei Aksyonov noted that the Government of the Republic of Crimea has built effective interregional cooperation to ensure the functioning of the region’s power grid.

In order to implement the President’s instructions to eliminate the electricity shortage in the Southern Federal District, a plan for interaction with the relevant federal ministry and state corporations has been developed. The capacities that are currently being developed and built by Rosseti together with Rostec will make it possible to cover the current shortage of electricity in the republic, which is especially important during the holiday season. To achieve this, administrative issues are quickly resolved, all necessary procedures are launched, areas of responsibility are distributed, and deadlines are determined. Joint work is underway at a high level with colleagues from the Kherson and Zaporozhye regions to organize the transit of electricity to historical regionssaid the Head of Crimea.

Sergei Aksyonov also noted that the Minister of Energy of the Russian Federation supported the project to modernize the power grid of the Southern Coast of Crimea, where the infrastructure capacity has already been exhausted, which negatively affects the development of investment projects.

At the moment, an audit of existing technological solutions is being carried out, the order and priority of repairing substations and building new ones is being determined, as well as the required amount of funding, — informed the Head of the Republic.

Sergei Aksyonov thanked the Ministry of Energy of the Russian Federation and the federal minister for their systematic assistance in implementing measures in the Republic of Crimea aimed at further developing the region’s economy and improving the quality of life of citizens.

In turn, the governor of the city of Sevastopol, Mikhail Razvozhaev, emphasized that the necessary decisions are made jointly with the leadership of the Republic of Crimea, which makes it possible to most effectively develop the common energy system in the interests of the residents of the peninsula.
