It may take up to 10 days to restore energy system of Ukraine in case of total blackout - Director of the Energy Research Center

Oleksandr Kharchenko, Director of the Energy Research Center, told about this at a briefing in the Media Center Ukraine - Ukrinform.

According to him, if we rely on the basic calculations, orders and regulations of how events will take place in case that a blackout occurs, the positive recovery scenario will be 3 days, and the negative - 7 to 10 days to restore the system.  However, deadlines cannot be guaranteed.

"There is such a problem - no one in the world has ever carried out such an experiment. No one in the world has thrown a system the size of Ukraine into blackout and tried to restore it - there are no such examples. Moreover, no energy system of any country in the world suffered such massive missile attacks. This is a unique Ukrainian experience," Oleksandr Kharchenko explained.
