solar power plants on the roofs of schools and hospitals, this is also small wind generation in the countryside, these are the same gas extraction plants that we talked about in order to provide first of all our own needs, and then, if there is a surplus, then through oblenergo networks, networks ukrenergo is transferred to different regions, here dispatchers already work without communities, they themselves see this whole picture perfectly, where how much electric energy is generated, where how much is consumed, and they will do it. professionally in the automatic mode of redistribution, however, according to this model, we, on unfortunately, and forced in the coming years, if even for a decade, to move to create a system of distributed generation, there are indeed many projects now, one is the completion of two energy units at the khmelnytskyi nuclear power plant, the second one even raised the chigerinsk site of the chigarin nuclear power plant, yes, but we understand that it is long lasting. projects, these are strategic

projects for tens of years, which require colossal investments. today, we have to work on tactical tasks, primarily to provide for the household consumer population and business with electric energy at the expense of own production, and not withdraw funds that should remain in the state for the purchase of expensive electric energy that is available in european countries. let me remind the audience that we are buying electricity in addition to words. from other countries for the so-called emergency dispatching assistance, that is, it is the most expensive electric energy, so there are certain irregularities in the regulations, the regulator is working on this, but at the same time, these funds should remain in ukraine, stimulate the development of new generating capacities, first of all green generation, and secondly, of course, gas-piston generation, since gas-start generation is quickly installed, it is a container-type installation, it was brought to... the foundation was connected to the networks, there may

be a narrow element here, because if there we connect to high-voltage networks, for example 110 kv, and the vast majority of gas demand installations are 10 k, yes, 10 km, then it is necessary to build entire substations with separate transformers, which is also a big problem, and that is why it is sometimes delayed unpredictable repair work, work on the restoration of our power grids, since we do not have such a stock, such large transformers, and almost no one in ukraine can produce them now, and transformers, only a logistical task of several months to bring a transformer from the same germany to ukraine, here you are they said that the construction of nuclear generators is a really long-term process, but it is an effective, productive process that in the long run can bring...

foreign exchange earnings to ukraine and not only for domestic needs to provide electricity to our the state, and if we compare it with green generation, which projects are more rapid, high-quality, and possibly easy to implement now during the great war, well, first of all, it is really gas-piston generation, well, it is not green energy, but there, if we go by that , what we talked about with you before the broadcast, these are biogas plants, then gas-fired power generation, then this is already green energy. and wind and solar energy, the sun is built very quickly, it is easy to build, there are large volumes of equipment in european warehouses, and the chinese manufacture them quickly, and for example, they deliver to the port in constanta, romania, or to gdansk, in poland, that is , there are no problems with the equipment, there is another problem, it is people, and since part of the engineers and builders are now protecting our peaceful sky, protecting... the dream is fighting for the independence

of the country at the front, part of it, unfortunately, went abroad, and there is a big problem, precisely in the personnel to build such projects, there is not enough manpower, this is even one of those problems to build the same gigawatt, then it is personnel problem also since no i will name individual cities, but i have already heard from two mayors that we receive under the international technical program. gas plants received help, but we do not have specialists, we do not have the hands to connect them, continue to operate them, they are lying and waiting, waiting for something, waiting for something, they turn there, they search, they search, but this is also a big problem, because yes, there are procedures and reservations in the energy sector, but most people deliberately went to join the armed forces, may god give them strength. i hope

will return to their workplaces very quickly, but the problem is that, and if we talk about private investments in green energy, maybe big business, medium. long ago made a bet that he could also make money from this, and at the same time rebuild generation in ukraine. here we will again divide it into two components. the first component is industrial generation, i.e. large solar parks and large wind farms. unfortunately, there is a problem of mistrust of investors, especially foreign investors, in the state of ukraine, due to the fact that the debt was formed, now it is about 30% of non-payments for electricity supplied to the network. i.e. 100% of the electricity declared according to the forecasts is released into the network, but the state is, but the state enterprise is the guaranteed buyer is not able to fully cover this debt, for example, unfortunately, this is how the times have turned out, for example, wind, wind generation has completely entered the free market, except for one

chinese state company, this is in a wind farm in the mykolaiv region, all the others went to the free market, they are more comfortable there than working with the state. and so we observe now the continuation of investments, three companies are large today, two of which have their own oil and gas assets, one is a company with foreign capital, they are building wind farms in ukraine, this is mykolayivsk, this is odesa region, this is ivano-frankivsk region, and one of the companies has relaced its plant from kramatorsk in transcarpathia and has already built the first wind park, installed the first turbine. and by the end of the year it is predicted that they will complete this first wind park in the carpathians, in the transcarpathian region, so it is easier with the wind here, more difficult with the sun, because the sun it is more difficult to predict, it is more weather-dependent, large fees for imbalances, and

most companies have loans in foreign currency, and when it is paid at a different rate, that is, debts are returned at the old rate, then... there is a problem with payments from banks, and therefore investors , especially foreign ones, now look skeptically at ukraine. the other generation is generation for own needs, here we see very active, positive dynamics, almost 200 mw, and this is what is accounted for, because there are unaccounted for solar plants that are being built for its own needs, the business built in the first half of this year, this is a huge number, these are solar stations to cover its own needs, this is the first retail. and these are large livestock complexes, warehouses, logistics terminals, for example, in the city of khmelnytskyi, you can see one of the companies' new logistics terminal, where solar panels are even installed on the facades, a very interesting project, and this is the second such project, where in ukraine , where

facade panels are installed on such a large scale, well, once the mine of the region itself i made a wall of one of the buildings for guarantee funds, but there it is more demonstrative. station, but this is one of the first projects and one of the retailers in the field of pavnomaster materials, also in lviv i have my office, well, it was a long time ago, i also fully equipped it with solar panels, there is such a trend here, and it is positive, because the business is not wants to be dependent on the state supply of electricity, so it tries to cover its own needs precisely at the expense of solar generation, and the second step... again, it is gas-fired generation, the same retailer is now building for the audience, retail is large shopping centers, for their own needs they build gas-piston plants to cover the needs for electricity, to have heating in winter. i've been watching recently on

my way to work, looking out the window and in high-rise buildings already on the balconies i see small solar panels, that is, people are trying somehow... at least for their own needs to provide themselves with electricity in sunny weather, at least in your opinion, if really about business you said, is it possible to simple consumers in multi-apartment buildings, in private farms, at least get through the heating season at the expense of solar energy, i'm not talking about selling the surplus, but at least provide yourself with electricity, of course, this project is not cheap, but is it possible to find some... golden mean? in the private sector , it is easier here, and even now there is a state program, a loan, with 0%, the loan is granted for 5 years, the construction of solar stations is just a good accumulation so that we understand perfectly well that during the day we

work at work, our children or at school or students are studying, there is no one during the day, when a large amount of electricity is generated, and in the morning and in the evening... solar stations work inefficiently due to the fact that the sun is low above the horizon, so this is where storage devices are needed, and here the state went to a meeting, heard the experts, in order to just... these peaks are covered by your savings, also for business, most banks, both private and public, under the 579 program also provide loans for solar plants with a drive for savings for small and medium business, with an apartment here it is much more difficult, because what you say is installed on the facades of the panel, it is in principle, just as the installation of air conditioners on the facades is a violation of building codes. standards and urban planning legislation, since

everything that is placed on the enclosing structure, that is, the wall of the building on the facade, and is not provided for by the project of this building, is a violation, it is clear that the method, it is a method of survival, well, it must be closed really, it is survival, this is a survival method, but in principle it is a violation, and if something happens to this module happen, then the responsibility will be directly on the owner, we can have a strong wind, that's all... if you already strengthen, then you need to take care very carefully about the reliability of the fastening, so as not to reward the danger, it can simply injure a person, absolutely true, just like and the generator, which now i see that many are starting to install generators on balconies, and this can also lead to fires, and the ingress of carbon monoxide and the destruction of the structure, if the balconies are old, this is so, well, we have seen, by the way, point cases, but it seems that there have already been two in kyiv when self-made bombs explode. thorny chargers and the facades of houses are collapsing and people are suffering, so you have to be very careful, i

think that at the state level they are turning a blind eye to this solar panel, but at the same time, here is another option, i saw several ads that in the design of the balcony a photomodule is already installed, either instead of part of the windows, or as an enclosing structure of the balcony, in principle, this... is not a deviation from the project, since the configuration does not change, the material changes, but the configuration of the gardens or the structure of the building does not change, so here it is very much a question, and how to choose this material qualitatively, because it is clear that you can buy and just fly into the penny, well, there are various options, that is, they are made effectively and from old electric cars, take the batteries and use them, but here you also expose yourself to danger. there are and independently make chargers from a group of batteries, of course, if you have the means, then this can

be done in an authorized trading a representative who has a guarantee, who carries security, unfortunately not all ukrainians can afford it, so we all go out differently, unfortunately, as best we can, but i also want to call and warn the audience to think about winter today, now still... we see this heat, but there is very little time left before the cold weather, and gradually you allocate candles and flashlights from the family budget there, because we remember the temporary so-so blackouts of the past, as we say the energy of the autumn-winter period, in everyday life we ​​call it the shameful period, when in transitions the subway was a frenzy of raising prices for these same flashlights, for the same... uh, it's a witness, that's why you need to prepare slowly, have such

a strategic stock at home. my new year's garland is already shining when i turn off the lights, when i return from work, just in the corridor, a very loud report is very loud, so the second life of the garland. at the very end, this is a more global but important question, how do you see ukrainian energy after the victory, what model, what will it be, it will be some kind of mix, perhaps not so clear, which... you essentially lost because of shelling? indeed, it will be a mix, although i am from the field of green energy, but we cannot do without nuclear power, i am forced to state that yes, we cannot do without nuclear power, and for a long time nuclear generation will remain the basis of our power system, maybe they will build power units, is it difficult here to speak despite the initiative regarding a geopolitical issue, since it is not only...

in principle, according to logic, their experts should carry out technical supervision, that is, there is a big geopolitical issue here, but i think that we ukrainians are such that the main thing is to want, that is nuclear generation... basically, we will not raise the issue of hydropower on the kakhov dam, because it is debatable, and scientists, and environmental experts, and environmental activists, there is a very active dialogue here, and maybe even an unproductive one, sometimes it happens, ah, that , that where the reservoirs are still preserved, i think that

the kharkiv turboatom will also rebuild these turbines and give... broken transformers we will purchase, install, we need hydropower, because, for example, last summer, when nuclear engineers went out for scheduled repairs, heat generators they also began to be actively repaired, that is, this past summer, before the active shelling of the heat generation, precisely ukrhydroenergo performed the function of balancing our energy system and worked very effectively, that is, we will develop hydrogeneration, restore it like this, further... this is green energy, the capacity of which is increasing more and more it is necessary to increase, and we will do it, i am sure, thank you for visiting the studio stanislav ignatiev, chairman of the board of the ukrainian renewable energy association, was a guest of the espresso channel, i i will say goodbye to you, stay with us and watch us. join the ranks of the 100th separate

mechanized brigade of the armed forces of ukraine. protect yours! the result of their work is our safety. they, the boys from volyn, proved that everyone can be a warrior, strong in spirit, they value the ability to stand side by side with their brothers and sisters, all the way to holy victory. everyone who pilots a uav, understands it, prepares, treats, repairs, rolls kilometers of roads, fills piles of documents, significantly strengthens those who cover the enemy with heavy fire and... return meter by meter our native land, join the ranks of the 100th separate mechanized brigade of the armed forces of ukraine, let's keep the line together. so this is the first presidential debate between camila harris and donald trump, and probably the first

live meeting between the candidates. prior to this, they had neither met in person nor spoken on the phone, until the polls debate, harris and trump went nose to nose, but did the results change after the debate, and if so, in whose favor? this is a very important question because historically, presidential debates have not had much impact on opinion american voters, but earlier this year we witnessed a decisive debate when joe biden faced donald trump in june. the debates, which

essentially put an end to biden's struggle for the nomination from the democratic party and paved the way. way for kamela garis. the current debate had a different dynamic. donald trump spoke out against a woman of another race for the first time. which we know can throw him off balance sometimes. kamela harris had to stand up to trump during the debate without looking belligerent and displaying unpresidential behavior. admittedly here in philadelphia. managed to do just that, with the candidates exchanging heated remarks and comments about each other during the debate. for example, kamela harris said that trump lied during the debate, and trump called

harris a dangerous and not very smart woman. such a trend. continued throughout the debate, so one of trump's most controversial lines was his comment that he did not understand how kamela harris could be both indian and african background, and he said it to her face, she handled it gracefully, not taking it as a personal attack, but rather expanding on how we perceive racial...diversity in the us. she said voters don't want divisiveness or vicious racial debate. instead, she emphasized that america is a multicultural country. and people want to move beyond trump's views on race. what questions caused

the most uncomfortable moments for both candidates, in particular, what about the topic of the war in ukraine? certainly not often seen such an emphasis on foreign policy during. presidential debates, like this one, usually focus on domestic issues, because it's clear that americans care about issues like the economy, jobs and abortion rights. although these issues were discussed, foreign policy, especially ukraine, took center stage. kamalagaris directly challenged trump, saying that european and nato leaders were concerned. that if trump were president, the war in ukraine would end in a quick victory vladimir putin. she argued that trump cannot be trusted to negotiate

with such authoritarian leaders. pretty sharp words from kamela garis. i've seen several memes on social media of kamela garis listening to debates and signings. and do you think trump was nervous or embarrassed during the debate?

in the us, there is always a lot of discussion about the sign language of the candidates during the debates, it is not only about their words, but also about how they react physically. tells voters how effective a president they can be to be if they are elected. there was much discussion that harris remained calm and composed despite trump's comments about her race and record. she even managed to turn the situation against him. one of the key points was inviting voters to attend one of trump's rallies, pointing out that people... are often bored and leave early. this apparently shocked former

president trump and led him to go on a little tirade about immigrants in the united states eating pets. it was one of his not-so-best moments debate time. so they both had the opportunity to demonstrate their behavior. i know the rules for this presidential debate were the same as the june debate. have you noticed any violations of the rules by this or that candidate? well, during each campaign i will discuss. did kamela garis think

they would work live? team that the microphones on will give donald trump more time to say the wrong thing . there are many rules regarding response time and in the past candidates have always had a live audience. now that will change. it definitely affects how the candidates deliver their lines and interact with each other. the rules of debate are incredibly important, and i think we saw them work today. before the start of the debate , the authorities erected barricades near the national constitutional center because many expected protests during the event, did such protests happen? yes,

tonight i was in front of the national constitution center and i saw several protesters, most of them speaking in support of palestinian rights and talking about how the palestinians were treated during the war in gaza. obviously, this is a key issue here in the united states, especially for many young voters. we have seen some of these protests. a few clashes between protesters and police in other parts of the city, but nothing serious enough to derail the debate itself. of course, before such a big political event in the usa , a separate stage was erected for trump supporters. then, as supporters of kamela harris held their own rallies. walking through the city, i saw a whole busload of young people supporters of garis, who carried placards through the streets. so, the city

was certainly diverse. and who do you think was more convincing? well, that 's up to the american voter, what we have to remember about these debates is that they generally don't change the minds of people who are already committed to one of the candidates. we know what donald trump will be like in office, because we witnessed four years of him. presidency and we understand that approximately 35-40% of voters will remain loyal to him, because they deeply devoted to his ideas. it is also known that kamela harris has significant support among democrats, but the main focus should be on those voters who are still undecided. who does not see any attractive option among the candidates. on election day, they will have to decide in a matter of seconds whether to go to the polls at all.

exactly. these voters will have a decisive influence and it is not yet clear whether they will hear anything from the candidates that will convince them, so we leave that to them. do you think the results of the polls will change after these debate? is this just what we've seen throughout the history of american presidential debates, or is there going to be a big jump? in the polls in favor of either candidate, it's not a fact, what really matters is the few states that can be the battleground states, the states that can throw their votes in favor of democrats or republicans on election day, these are states like georgia, pennsylvania, michigan, and other midwestern states, as well as some of the so -called sun belt states in the southwest, those states will ultimately decide who

gets the 270. of course, each presidential candidate brings his or her personal experience to the debate. i covered kamela harris in the us senate as a correspondent. i've seen her in congressional hearings where she's been very tough on witnesses, the fact that she's a former prosecutor who knows her stuff well, it's impossible not to see, and i think we 'll get to see that again? what can be expected, in particular, for americans and possibly ukrainians after these debates. on mine

point is very important that ukraine is brought up so often in today's debate, it brings foreign policy, particularly the war in ukraine, back to the attention of american voters at a time when we are dealing with many complex domestic issues here in the united states. so this will rekindle the discussion that was off center. attention since congress approved the latest round of us aid to ukraine earlier this year. it is very good that this issue is back in the public debate, especially when we are considering two very different approaches proposed by the candidates. the re-election of donald trump as president will mean a very different future for ukraine compared to what kamela harris is proposing, so american voters should definitely take it.
