Hydroelectricity in Ukraine is quite developed branch of power engineering. State operating company is Ukrhydroenergo and Energoatom. Design of main power plants is carried out by Ukrhydroproject.
General characteristics
|
In the
Dnipro cascade (capacity - 3.8 GW, output - 9.9 GWh • h): Dnieper Hydroelectric Station, Kyiv Pumped Storage Power Plant
(HPSP), Tashlyk HPSP.
In addition to
hydroelectric power plants
(HPP) and HPS, 49 so-called small hydroelectric plants operate in Ukraine, producing more than 200 million kWh of electricity. But they have drawbacks: rapid wear of equipment, damage to the structures of a pressure fountain, drainage of reservoirs, insufficient use of means of automation and control.
The main cascades of hydroelectric power stations are the Dnipro cascade and the Dniester cascade.
Also there are some unfinished projects on the Southern Bug like Konstiantynivska HPP (430 MW)
Construction has started of the Kaniv Hydro-Accumulating Power Station (1000/1040 MW)
On Tashlyk Pumped-Storage Power Plant, a third unit is under construction.
In 2018 construction started on the second part of the
Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Plant, the Kakhovka-2 Hydroelectric Power Plant
] (250 MW).
