Deep Read: Wie ein ganzes Kraftwerk von Deutschland in die Ukraine gebracht wird
Über Rüstungshilfen für die Ukraine wird viel gesprochen. Genauso wichtig ist die Hilfe für die Energieversorgung. Es geht um Zehntausende Bauteile – und ein gigantisches Unterfangen.
In the German city of Lubmin, a small power plant with a capacity of 84 megawatts once heated gas arriving from Russia, which was then fed into the German power grid. However, since the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022, no gas has been supplied to Lubmin through the Nord Stream 1 pipeline. This has rendered the combined heat and power plant (CHP) obsolete in Germany.
Yet, a few hundred kilometers away, the entire facility is set to embark on a new life in Ukraine, where it will be urgently needed. An irony of history, as Russia's actions have made this plant less desirable in Germany, while simultaneously making it more crucial for Ukraine.
