4 FAQs about [Smart grid infrastructure Ukraine]
Will Ukraine synchronize with the EU power grid?
The World Bank has already been working to prepare Ukraine’s power infrastructure for synchronization with the EU power grid under the ongoing Second Power Transmission Project (PTP2). This project supports Ukraine in the introduction of smart grid technologies and wholesale electricity markets.
How will the World Bank help Ukraine synchronize its power grid?
The World Bank’s financing will help mitigate technical risks associated with synchronizing Ukraine’s power grid with the European electricity grid and will help decarbonize it by facilitating greater integration of renewable energy.
What happens if a power grid is synchronized?
Synchronizing one grid to another requires a precise match of the frequency, phase, and voltage of electric current. Failure to do so could result in grid collapse (a blackout) of both power systems and possibly require weeks of repair to make them functional. Workers repair damaged electrical equipment in Ukraine.
