Nov 2015

Crimea currently receives about 600 MWt of electricity from Ukraine daily. Ukraine charges Crimea $0.06 per kW/hr from July 1.

After an underwater ‘power bridge’ to Crimea from the Krasnodar Territory is built, the Russian Black Sea peninsula will be supplied with 800 MWt of electricity from mainland Russia.

The first two out of four power cable lines are scheduled to go into operation in late December 2015, which will allow Crimea to receive about 400 MWt of electricity.

The works to lay a power cable from the Krasnodar Territory in south Russia to Crimea along the bed of the Kerch Strait will start in August, Crimean Fuel and Energy Minister Sergei Yegorov told TASS on Thursday.
