Deep Read: How an entire German power plant is being transported to Ukraine
There is a lot of talk about military aid for Ukraine. Equally important is assistance for the energy supply. It's about tens of thousands of components - and a gigantic undertaking.
A former power plant in Lubmin, Germany, is being dismantled and transported to Ukraine. The plant, which has 84 megawatts of capacity, was used to warm gas from Russia for the German grid, but has been idle since Russia stopped supplying gas through the Nord Stream 1 pipeline in 2022, following its invasion of Ukraine. The plant's second life will begin in Ukraine, hundreds of kilometers away, where it is now needed. Russia's actions have made the plant unnecessary in Germany but essential in Ukraine.
