It will take at least 5 years to build a new hydroelectric power station on the site of the destroyed Kakhovskaya HPP.
Source: general director of Ukrhydroenergo Ihor Syrota, who is quoted by “Kakhovskaya HPP | headquarters info”
Direct speech: “The Kakhovskaya HPP cannot be restored. After deoccupation, we will have to build a new station.
It takes at least 5 years to build a new station – in 24/7 mode. At least $1 billion is needed for this.
We still do not know the full scale of the destruction: not only the station was damaged, but also crossings, water supply, and gas supply. This is a complex hydro node, which takes time to build. Now we are developing a project for the location of the station.”
Details: According to Syrota, project decisions are currently being made to provide water to the population, agriculture and industry.
The director of Ukrhydroenergo noted that water will be accumulated in the upper reservoirs in order to fill the Kakhov reservoir as soon as possible after deoccupation.
