According to the minister power engineers of the Russian Federation Alexander Novak, to date, several options have been worked out for the development of the energy and gas supply scheme for the peninsula, the final version will be selected by May 1. In the meantime, the authorities decide what will be the energy of the Crimea in the near future, we will see what is "available" today.
Simferopol CHPP named after V.I. Lenin
Until 1981, it was called the Simferopol State District Power Plant named after. IN AND. Lenin. Commissioned in 1958
The station has two T-34/55-90 heating steam turbines and three BKZ-160-100FB steam boilers. The CHPP also has two water-heating boilers of the KVGM-100 brand.
As a result, the installed capacity of the Simferopol CHPP is only 68 MW, thermal power 364 Gcal/h.
In 1984 and 1986 Two gas turbines GTU-100-750-3M were put into operation at the Simferopol CHPP, with an electric power of 100 MW each. Currently, these two gas turbines do not generate electricity.

Kamysh-Burunskaya CHPP
It was put into operation in 1938. The Kamysh-Burunskaya CHPP was also previously called the State District Power Plant, until 1972, when it was renamed the CHPP.
Currently, the plant has two steam turbines PT-12-35/10 M, one PR-6-35/10/5 and two steam boilers BKZ-75-39FB.
30 MW, thermal power - 103 Gcal/h. However, electricity is not supplied from the station, but only heat. This is apparently due to the peculiarity of the installed turbines, for the operation of which an external industrial consumer of steam is required, but there is none.

Saki CHPP (now Saki thermal networks)
The Saki CHPP was put into operation in 1955, in 1978 the CHPP was renamed into the Saki Thermal Networks.
The power plant has two steam heating turbines T-6-35/16 and three steam boilers BKZ-50-39 FB.
The installed electric capacity of the power plant is 12 MW, thermal - 154.5 Gcal/h.
Now the power plant is also in pilot operation with a steam-gas plant CCGT-20 with a capacity of 20 MW. Developed CCGT-20 Ukrainian enterprise "Research and production complex of gas turbine construction" Zorya-Mashproekt ", the city of Nikolaev.

Sevastopol CHPP
Put into operation in January 1937, it was the flagship of the power industry of the Crimean peninsula. During the years of the Great Patriotic War the power plant was destroyed, the equipment was taken to Germany.
After the liberation of the city of Sevastopol from occupation German troops, Sevastopol CHPP from 1944 to 1951 was restored and resumed power supply to vital facilities of the city, the Black Sea Fleet and the cities of Crimea.
Installed electric capacity of CHPP - 33 MW, thermal - 153.3 Gcal/h.

Crimean nuclear power plant
The construction of the Crimean NPP was conceived as a decision to fully provide the entire Crimean peninsula with electricity, as a result of which Crimea could become a completely energy-independent region.
The construction of the nuclear power plant began in 1975. It was planned to install two nuclear reactors of the VVER-1000 type, 1000 MW of electric power each, at the power plant. The completion of construction was scheduled for 1989. But there was a disaster on Chernobyl nuclear power plant, and the local community expressed a categorical "against" the construction of nuclear power plants.
As a result, the construction of the station was stopped. At the time construction was stopped, the readiness of the first power unit was 80%, the second - 20%.

Alternative energy of Crimea
Crimea can seriously boast of success in alternative energy. According to some information, in last years on the peninsula, up to 20% of electricity generated comes from renewable energy sources. These are mainly solar power plants and wind turbines.
So, in recent years, solar power plants "Rodnikovoe" and "Perovo" in the Simferopol region, "Okhotnikovo" and "Mityaevo" - in Saki and "Nikolaevka" in the Pervomaisky region were put into operation.
Wind energy in Crimea is represented by seven wind power plants. The largest of them are Donuzlavskaya WPP (installed electric power 18.7 MW), Vodenergoremnaladka WPP (installed electric power 26 MW), Tarkhankutskaya WPP (installed electric power 15.9 MW) and Vostochno-Krymskaya WPP (installed electric power power 2 MW).

Conclusion
The current state of the Crimean energy sector, unfortunately, is characterized by a fleet of outdated energy equipment that has exhausted its resource and low reliability of energy supply. Crimea's own sources of electricity generation cover the electricity demand of the peninsula by only 20-30%.
Although alternative energy is developing, so far it can cover only a very small part of the electricity needs of the inhabitants of the peninsula.
It is impossible to imagine what the Crimeans can expect in the event, for example, of the cessation of electricity supplies from mainland Ukraine.
In preparing the article, materials from the site were used
On Friday, at about two o'clock in the afternoon, all four lines of the energy bridge were switched off, through which electricity is supplied through the Kerch Strait from the Krasnodar Territory to the Crimea. This was reported by the Ministry of Energy of Russia.
The established abnormally high air temperatures in the South-Western energy district of the Krasnodar Territory caused an emergency shutdown of 500 kV power lines, which led to the shutdown of lines that supply Crimea with energy, the Ministry of Energy specifies.
The Federal Grid Company (FGC) reported that the outage was due to the operation of emergency automation. By 3:35 p.m., all FGC power lines are switched on, "there is a load increase," an official representative of the FGC told Vedomosti. According to him, an official investigation will be carried out on the fact of the shutdown together with the system operator, who is in charge of the algorithms and installations of emergency automation.
CEO mobile operator Federal State Unitary Enterprise Krymtelecom Vladimir Drozdenko told Vedomosti that mobile communications on the peninsula are operating normally. Mobile communication was available, confirms the general director of another mobile operator KTK Telecom (Volna Mobile brand) Dmitry Klimenko.
After the shutdown of the energy system of Crimea and Sevastopol, they worked autonomously, the power shortage on the peninsula was about 1000 MW.
Crimean Energy Minister Vadim Belyak also told Interfax that automatic equipment went off on the approaches to the energy bridge on the Krasnodar side. According to Kryminform, Sevastopol, Yalta, Feodosia, Sudak, Kerch and other cities remained without electricity. Large infrastructure facilities are now being connected to standby power sources.
Problems with the energy supply of the region arose in the fall of 2015, when power transmission towers were blown up in the territory of the Kherson region, which ensured the flow of energy to the peninsula. They ensured the supply of up to 650 MW of power to the Crimea, while the region's needs were 900-950 MW. At the peak of consumption, Crimea needs up to 1300 MW.
After the commissioning of an energy bridge across the Kerchesky Strait in 2016, Crimea began to receive 800 MW from the Krasnodar Territory. To ensure the energy security of the region, it was decided to build two power plants - in Simferopol and Sevastopol, with a total capacity of 940 MW, the work is carried out by the subsidiary of Rostec, Technopromexport. Also, until August, a tender will be held for the construction of low-capacity power plants in the Sak region (120 MW in total). Early July Siemens complained that the turbines he produced for Technopromexport and intended for the construction of a power plant in Taman were delivered to Crimea in circumvention of the sanctions.

27 November 2015 Energy blockade of Crimea http://spydell.livejournal.com/598160.html
The story of the energy blockade of Crimea by Ukraine is not new. Supply restrictions have occurred several times this year, but the biggest incident occurred on December 24, 2014, when Ukraine completely cut off electricity supplies to Crimea. Then Kyiv, in fact, delivered an ultimatum to Russia - either Moscow agrees to supply coal and electricity to Ukraine in exchange for electricity supply to Crimea, or Crimea lives without electricity. All this was motivated by the fact that at that time Ukraine had a critical energy shortage due to interruptions in the supply of gas and coal for power plants, plus South Africa sent them with coal supplies. At that time, rolling blackouts occurred throughout Ukraine, and if they didn’t for themselves, then even more so for Crimea.
The Kremlin was forced to go for an ultimatum, because. there was no alternative. As a result, coal, gas and electricity were supplied on preferential terms and at first even without prepayment. According to the statistics of the customs service of the Russian Federation, from the 4th quarter of 2014 to the 3rd quarter of 2015 (inclusive) Russia supplied 2,420 GWh to Ukraine in the amount of $102.4 million, i.e. about 2.6 rubles per 1 kWh
The supply of electricity from Russia to Ukraine accounted for approximately 55-60% of the supply from Ukraine to Russia.
Crimea consumes an average of 1320 GWh per quarter from Ukraine, or about 14.4 GWh per day - this is 600 MW per hour - actual supplies, although it is clear that the power varies depending on the time of year and time of day, but on average about 600 MW comes out per hour .
AT this moment Electricity generation in Crimea on its own accounted for 337 MW, of which:
- Sevastopol CHPP - 21 MW;
- Simferopol CHPP - 51 MW;
- Kamysh-Burunskaya CHPP - 5 MW;
- CHPP "Sakskiye thermal networks" - 16 MW;
- solar power plants - 18 MW;
- wind power plants - 1 MW;
- MGTPP - 207 MW;
- others - 18 MW (work in isolation).
- Flows from NPC "Ukrenergo" - 0 MW.
The energy deficit of Crimea as of November 2015 is at least 65% with economical use and up to 75% in the conditions of free use of energy capacities, i.e. on our own we close at best 35%, and not more than 25%. Estimated shortage of electric power is at least 550 MW in savings and up to 680 MW in normal mode.
At the moment, at least 55% of the population of Crimea remain without electricity, significant interruptions in electricity supply for 90% of the population.
As of November 25, 2015, according to the Ministry of Energy of the Russian Federation, all socially significant facilities are powered by diesel generator sets (643 units, with a capacity of 82.5 MW).
They also calculated the required volumes of light oil products while providing consumers with electricity from DGUs 1500 tons of diesel fuel and 10 tons of gasoline per day (with simultaneous operation of 1400 DGUs), MGTPP 1120 tons per day. The issues of priority delivery of fuel shipped from factories have been worked out (the numbers of the corresponding cars and the station of the current location have been transferred to Russian Railways).
According to my estimates, the cost of fuel per day (!) to supply diesel generators is at least 40 million rubles at wholesale prices, but all this covers no more than 13% of the required electricity demand. This is at least ten (!) times more expensive than energy from Ukraine. The calculations do not take into account the costs of the generators themselves, connection and their maintenance.
Those. energy through diesel generators in the truest sense of the word - golden!
Every month, the energy blockade will take away from the GRP of Crimea, on average, about 6 percentage points. from GRP, i.e. if Crimea is under blockade for a year, then the region's economy will shrink by at least 54% (but a 70% economic decline is more realistic), given the current available energy capacities. This is about economic damage. We do not live in the Middle Ages, energy is of great importance. To find out what it is like to live without energy, it is enough to go to the Crimea. Business and industrial activity is completely paralyzed, up to 70% of retail space is deactivated, public transport has stopped, the life and health of the population is at risk. Of course, all this, not counting the natural everyday difficulties in the absence of electricity, because. there are still interruptions in the supply of water and heating. This is a catastrophe.
-/-/-
There is about a month left before the first energy bridge from Russia is thrown, and the United States (Kyiv, as a performer) will have a little less leverage to destabilize the situation. Crimea will still be dependent on Ukraine, at least by 350-400 MW, but this is no longer 600-680 MW. Therefore, we simply used the window of opportunity, which is completely logical and understandable. This is self-explanatory. They use every opportunity.
It is not Kyiv that surprises me here (everything is clear with it and this is expected), but the Russian authorities.
First. Crimea as part of Russia for 20 months! To ensure the energy security of the Crimea (the most important issue) was done ... nothing! Those. nothing at all!
-/-/-
But ours, I don’t even know what to call them ... we spent half a year fumbling with papers, another half a year we were looking for contractors and building as if there were still several lives ahead, and only friends and partners around us.
The 1st line for 200 MW was launched on December 2, 2015, and the second line of the 1st line for another 200 MW was launched on December 15, 2015. Thus, as of December 15, about 400 MW of electricity was supplied from the mainland of Russia from the Kuban to the Crimea, and by May 2016, 2 more lines of the energy bridge of the 2nd stage with a total capacity of 400 MW were launched, which eventually amounted to 800 MW of the total capacity of the energy bridge. Thus, the energy system of Crimea was physically connected to the UES of Russia. On December 29, 2016, the management of the Crimean energy system, previously carried out by the State Unitary Enterprise of the Republic of Kazakhstan "Krymenergo", was transferred to the Black Sea Regional Dispatch Office of the SO UES of Russia.
Power industry
In the structure of electricity consumption, the population accounts for 46%, industry - 17.6%, agriculture - 6.7%. There are no seasonal fluctuations in the region, which is usually not typical for energy companies. During the winter months, the share of electricity consumed for lighting and heating increases, and in the summer, consumption in the resort area and for the needs of irrigation systems increases.
During the hours of the morning maximum, consumption for 2014 reaches 1100 MW, and in the evening - 900 MW. The maximum capacity of own generation is 182 MW (excluding solar and wind generation), mobile - 337 MW. In October 2015, the capacity of its own generation was increased to 500 MW. For 2017, the flow from the UES of the South of Russia is up to 800 MW, the volume of own generation is about 160 MW, the generation of MGTPP is about 300 MW (the total amount of output power is up to 1260 MW, excluding alternative sources of power supply and RISE)
Power generation
Own production of electricity on the peninsula is 1131 million kWh per year, which provides 21% of the total consumption. One of the basic suppliers of electricity is the Rostov NPP.
According to the Soviet plans for the development of the energy sector, Crimea was to be fully self-sufficient at the expense of its own nuclear power plant. But after the Chernobyl accident, it was decided to refuse to complete the construction of the Crimean nuclear power plant, despite the fact that the readiness of the first unit was 90% and nuclear fuel was delivered. In 2014, the refusal to continue construction was due to the lack of ready-made projects for small and medium power units.

In the spring of 2014, mobile gas turbine stations were installed in the Crimea: 9 stations were delivered from the Olympic Sochi, 4 more unused stations were brought from the Moscow region. The cost of their movement amounted to 2 billion rubles.
On September 20, 2014, as a result of a short circuit and subsequent fire, one complete mobile substation 110/10 kV at the Simferopol MGTPP was damaged and out of service.
At the end of November 2015, MGTPS provided the generation of 70% of all electricity in Crimea. At the same time, a decision was made to supply two additional mobile GTPPs from Vladivostok, owned by PJSC RAO ES of the East. On December 10, the power module of the first station was delivered to the Crimea by an An-124 Ruslan aircraft, on December 14, the automatic control system module and a 30 MVA power transformer were delivered by the second flight. As a result, the 14th MGTPP was put into operation on December 31 at the Sevastopolskaya site. January 14, 2016 at the site "West-Krymskaya" - the last fifteenth MGTPP.
As of February 19, 2016, all 15 MGTPPs were in good order and were in operation in accordance with the commands of the dispatcher of the State Unitary Enterprise of the Republic of Kazakhstan "Krymenergo". An annual Maintenance. In March, a fire broke out at the West Crimean MGTPP and one unit was lost.
Since September 24, 2016, MGTPPs have been operating in the basic mode to ensure repair work on power lines that ensure the flow of power from the IPS of the South.
In 2017, 4 more MGTPPs with a total capacity of 90 MW were delivered.
By the end of September 2017, the total generation reached 1925.6 million kWh. Mobile stations were connected to the network 11 419 times by the FGP and the command of the CRDU dispatcher on duty. The total operating time was 113.1 thousand hours.
Thermal power plants
Construction of the Sevastopol TPP. October 2016
Gas-fired thermal power plants:
In 2015 Simferopolskaya, Sakskaya and Kamysh-Burunskaya TPPs were temporarily decommissioned for repairs. By the end of June, repairs were completed at the Simferopol CHPP. Work was being completed in Saki, and work at the Kamysh-Burun power plant was to be completed in September.
Partially implemented:
Planned construction:
Renewable sources
Four solar parks were built on the peninsula in 2010-2012: Rodnikovoe, Okhotnikovo, Perovo, Mityaevo, with a total capacity of 227.3 MW.
Until April 2014, alternative energy in Crimea was subsidized by the "green tariff", when electricity was bought from the manufacturer at an order of magnitude more expensive than the consumer paid for it. After the Crimean leadership refused to raise tariffs, solar stations were stopped until August, when electricity producers agreed to reduce the price from 14.5 to 3.42 rubles per kWh. At the same time, the tariff for the population ranged from 0.95 to 3.26 rubles, for enterprises - from 3.3 to 4.22 rubles per kWh.
In September 2014, the total actual capacity of solar power plants was 160-180 MW, wind turbines - up to 50 MW, with an installed capacity of solar power plants of 227.3 MW, wind farms - 87 MW.
Diesel generator sets
In addition to mobile gas turbine stations, 1.5 thousand diesel generators with a total capacity of 310 MW were placed in Crimea, including 215 diesel generators with a total capacity of 32 MW in Sevastopol. Unlike MGTES, they are not connected to the Krymenergo network, but are used for autonomous supply of socially significant facilities. In some cases, it was possible to implement a mechanism for the transition of social facilities to DGU in order to reduce rolling blackouts during peak hours.
At the end of 2015, the number of generators was increased to 2168, and a decision was made to transfer the generators to the balance of SUE Crimean Generating Systems. In February 2016, 152 generators were out of service. By March 2016, there were 2,223 autonomous generators in the Republic of Crimea.
The lack of unification makes it difficult to repair diesel generators and requires work with dozens of suppliers.
Diesel generators are complex and costly to operate and maintain, a more cost-effective alternative to make up for shortages during the morning and evening peak hours is to replace incandescent bulbs with LEDs. In the first project - the hospital. Semashko, the reduction in consumption amounted to 0.53 MW. The Crimean government is considering the possibility of transferring public institutions to LED lighting and encourages residents to do so.
Oil and gas sector
The first natural gas field in the Crimea with commercial reserves was discovered in November 1960. In 1965, the Glebovskoye gas condensate field with reserves of 4.6 billion m³ was prepared for development.
Field development is carried out by the Crimean republican enterprise "Chernomorneftegaz" of Krymgazseti. In 1999, gas reserves in the North Kazantip field were estimated at 18-20 billion cubic meters.
Gas consumption is approximately equal to its production: 1.5-1.6 billion cubic meters per year. Underground gas storage helps to solve the problem of shortage during the heating season: peak consumption during the heating season reaches 10...12 million m³ with an average daily production of 5.3 million m³.
Gas transportation system
October 7, 1966 Ministry of Gas Industry Soviet Union put into operation the main gas pipeline "Glebovka - Simferopol" with a length of 102.4 km. The gasification of Crimea continued with the construction of gas pipelines: Simferopol - Sevastopol, Dzhankoy - Simferopol, Armyansk - Dzhankoy, Bakhchisaray - Yalta. In 1992, the main gas pipeline "Krasnoperekopsk - Glebovskoe UGSF" was put into operation, 97 km long, 1020/10 in diameter, which looped the Crimean gas transportation system.
The operating gas transportation system of Crimea includes over 1,800 km of gas pipelines, of which 950 km are trunk and 410 km offshore. There is a connection with the gas transportation system of Ukraine. In 2013, about 1.6 billion m³ of local natural gas was pumped.
Main gas pipelines:
- Black Sea shelf - Glebovskoye UGSF - Simferopol - Sevastopol;
- Perekop - Dzhankoy - Simferopol - Sevastopol, with a branch to Yalta - Alushta;
- Dzhankoy - Feodosia - Kerch, with a supply from the Azov shelf;
- Perekop - Glebovskoe UGSF
Nodes: Simferopol, Dzhankoy, Glebovka, Perekop.
The construction of a new gas pipeline Kerch - Simferopol - Sevastopol will make it possible to close the system into a ring.
In 2016, the level of gasification in Crimea was 73%: in cities - 86.4%, in rural areas - 46.2%, in 2017 - 73.4%.
Underwater gas pipeline
In 2016, an underwater gas pipeline was built across the Kerch Strait. First of all, the gas pipeline will provide base power stations in Simferopol and Sevastopol, which are planned to be put into operation by the end of 2017.
The Krasnodar Territory - Crimea gas pipeline originates from the Southern Corridor. The total length of the gas pipeline will be 135 km, the pipe diameter will be from 500 to 700 mm. On the territory of the Kerch Peninsula, the highway enters in the area of the village of Chelyadinovo.
The branch is located between the Russkaya and Kazachya compressor stations. The new gas pipeline "Crimea - Kuban" is connected to the existing pipeline Dzhankoy - Feodosiya - Kerch. The capacity is 4.4 billion m³ per year, while the planned demand of the Crimea is 2.2 billion m³ per year.
Work began in the first half of 2016.
In February 2015, information about the zone allocated for the construction of a 250-km gas pipeline with branches to the Simferopol and Sevastopol TPPs was applied to the cadastral map of the Russian Federation. On December 27, 2016, the commissioning of the gas pipeline was announced.

Today, the issue of a stable energy supply to Crimea has been resolved, and the supply of excess energy to the mainland is possible with a minimum of consumption in the region itself. This was stated by the Director of the Energy Development Fund Sergei Pikin.
After the commissioning of the second blocks of two new Crimean thermal power plants, excess electricity will be supplied to the Russian mainland, said a member of the State Duma Energy Committee Mikhail Sheremet.
"The surplus of electricity that is currently being generated in Crimea will be transported via an energy bridge to the mainland of the Russian Federation," RIA Novosti quotes Sheremet as saying.
The need for mobile gas turbine stations, which were deployed to the Crimea in times of energy shortage, has already disappeared, he added.
Earlier, Rostec reported that the second block of the TPP in Simferopol had been brought to its nominal capacity, and now both blocks supply electricity to the grid. At the same time, the second block of the TPP in Sevastopol will reach its nominal capacity in the near future.
LLC VO Technopromexport, a member of Rostec, is building the Balaklava TPP in Sevastopol and the Tavricheskaya TPP in Simferopol with a capacity of 470 MW each. September (from May 19), the second block of the Sevastopol TPP - on October 1, Simferopol - on November 1 (earlier for both blocks the deadline was June 18).
Stations with a margin
The stations were built with a certain margin, taking into account peak consumption, meaning the winter period and the tourist season, says Sergey Pikin, noting that energy consumption decreases in the off-season.
"Supplies of surpluses to the mainland - yes, it is possible, but so far the question is not raised, this requires certain technical measures in terms of network infrastructure - this is still not a water pipe through which you can let water go there, then back. But with time of delivery energy is realizable when there is a minimum of consumption in the Crimea itself,” said the expert of the FBA “Economy Today”.
Now, after all, the main task, Pikin noted, is the self-sufficiency of the Crimea and the availability of an energy bridge as a backup source of additional power.
Reconstruction of networks
As for mobile gas turbine stations, the absence of a need for them does not mean that they need to be dismantled and taken away - after all, it is necessary to have reserve capacities for the first time, especially in a situation when facilities are put into operation. In addition, the problem of Crimean energy was not only in generation, but also in worn-out networks, the expert says.
That is, there is generation, but it is difficult to deliver them to separate places. It requires - and this work is being done - the reconstruction of networks. No one has dealt with them for decades, and here, too, just in case, have certain reserves.
The issue of sustainable supply
"In general, today the energy system of Crimea is stable, there are internal opportunities in the form of generation, there is a backup line in the form of an energy bridge, this is a good help. So at the moment the issue of stable energy supply has been resolved. There are local tasks, with distribution networks, but they require additional efforts" - said Sergey Pikin.
Earlier in an interview with FBA "Economy Today" the head of the Republic of Crimea Sergei Aksenov said that a real breakthrough had been made in the energy sector in the region.
"In October, Crimea for the first time in its history sent a surplus of generated electricity to the Kuban." Our region has ceased to be energy deficient. It is clear that in winter, when electricity consumption increases, the situation may be different, but the fact itself is very significant," Aksenov said.
The basis of the renewed energy system of the peninsula was just the energy bridge and two new power plants - Tavricheskaya and Balaklava. Their first units were put into operation in October and produce about 500 MW of electricity. After the launch of the second phase in the near future, the total capacity of these facilities will be 940 MW. The modernization of existing power plants is also underway, which makes it possible to significantly increase their capacity, the head of Crimea noted.
