Turkey may deploy floating thermal power plants in Moldova and Romania to supply electricity to Ukraine
Taking into account the safety, it is better to place floating power plants in the ports of Moldova and Romania, from which electricity will be transmitted by power lines to Ukraine
Turkish company Karpowership is considering the option of placing power plants in Romania and Moldova to supply electricity to Ukraine. This was reported by Karpowership CEO Zeynep Harezi in an interview with Anadolu.
Electiricity will be transmitted by power lines
Earlier, the company mentioned the possibility of placing three vessels with a total capacity of 300 MW near Odesa. However, due to the lack of security guarantees, it was decided to consider the possibility of supplying electricity through other countries.
Harezi noted that taking into account safety, it is better to place the floating stations in the ports of Moldova and Romania, from which the electricity will be transmitted by power lines to Ukraine.
The CEO of the company specified that it is about 3-4 stations, and negotiations have already begun. The company can supply enough electricity to supply about a million households.
Shortage of power
Ukraine, which until recently was a powerful exporter of electricity, is now experiencing an acute shortage due to Russian aggression. Ukraine’s largest nuclear power plant is occupied and not generating power, and all large thermal and hydro power plants in the free territory have been damaged by missiles.
8 vessels – 5 million homes
Karpowership has eight available vessels that together can generate up to 2 gigawatts of electricity. This is enough to power approximately 5 million homes. The company’s largest vessel has a capacity of 500 MW. The vessels connect the onboard power plant to the shore grid using about a kilometer of cables.
Floating power plants are connected to the land-based grid by a kilometer-long cable. To produce electricity, barges burn liquefied natural gas, low-sulfur fuel oil or biodiesel.
