"The power system of Crimea"

- CONTENT--
Since December 29, 2016, the power system of Crimea has been managed by the Black Sea Regional Dispatch Office of the SB UES of Russia.

The largest producers of electricity are: Balaklava TPP and Tauride TPP with a total capacity of 940 MW and Saka TPP with a capacity of 120 MW.

A feature of the system is the sharply variable generation of solar power plants associated with weather conditions.

The transmission of electricity through the main networks of 220-330 kV until 2023 was carried out by Krymenergo State Unitary Enterprise, on the balance of which the nationalized assets of Ukrenergo were transferred. At the end of 2022, the Black Sea Enterprise of Main Electric Networks was established in PJSC Rosseti, to which the property of the main networks of the State Unitary Enterprise of the Republic of Kazakhstan Krymenergo was transferred free of charge (Feodosia MES, Dzhankoy MES, Simferopol MES).

The transmission of electricity in the Crimea via distribution networks is also provided by the State Unitary Enterprise of the Republic of Kazakhstan Krymenergo, on the balance of which the nationalized assets of PJSC DTEK Krymenergo were transferred.

History
In 1896, the first Crimean power plant gave current to light the theater and the central streets of Simferopol.

In 1932, the construction of the underground coal power plant “Krot” was started in Sevastopol. Construction was completed after the war, in the 1950s.

In 1962, the 220 kV Kakhovka-Dzhankoi-ORU of the Simferopol GRES was put into operation, linking the Crimean energy system with the United Energy System of the South.

In 1962-1965 were built:
220 kV power line Dzhankoy - Feodosia,
110 kV power line: Saki - Evpatoria, Old Crimea - Sudak, Old Crimea - Planerskoe,
substation 220 kV Dzhankoyskaya,
110 kV substation: Moinaki, Donuzlav.

In 2005-2011, the Simferopol-Sevastopol line was transferred from 220 kV to 330 kV.

In 2013, about 6.3 billion kWh of electricity was transferred to the power system, of which more than 5.0 billion kWh from the mainland. The main amount of electricity consumed was covered by overflows (from the Zaporizhzhzhye TPP, Zaporizhia NPP, from the power system of the Nikolaev region) along four high-voltage power lines:
Melitopol - Dzhankoy (330 kV, emergency-acceptable power value - 770 MW),
Kakhovka - Dzhankoy (330 kV),
Kakhovka - Ostrovsky (330 kV),
Kakhovka – Titan (220 kV, dead end branch, feeding Armeniansk and Krasnoperekopsk, maximum capacity – 300 MW).
The maximum distance for which electricity was transmitted exceeded 500 km - from Ukrainian nuclear power plants to Kerch, which is comparable to the distance from the Rostov NPP.

In 2014, the deployment of 13 mobile gas turbine power plants and 1,500 diesel generators, as well as the signing of two contracts for the supply of electricity were the first measures to ensure the energy supply of Crimea during the transition period. Such measures as the restoration and relocation of floating gas turbine power plants or maneuverable GT-100-3M were practically not discussed. Because of the high cost of e-mails
