Ukraine started restoring power transmission lines that connect Lugansk and Uglegorsk thermal power stations to the state energy system. The repairs could be over in 2 months.
Soon Alchevsk Iron and Steel Works, a part of the Industrial Union of Donbass, could also be connected to Ukrainian system. Right now it has a large debt to Ukraine and imports electricity from Russia.
Probably the works plans to increase output, and for that it needs stable electricity.
“Alchevsk CEO Shevchenko has paid me a visit. We spoke of the output increase plans and infrastructure demand”, said infrastructure deputy minister Vladimir Shulmeister. (Ukrainian metal)
