President of DiXi Group Olena Pavlenko, during the annual conference “Ukraine: Attrition, Resilience, Innovation, and Adaptation” by Eastern Circles in Paris, outlined the most important outcome of almost four years of Russian full-scale war and energy terror.
“One of the pressing questions that Ukraine is forced to answer is how to protect energy facilities from clouds of Russian drones, missile strikes, and massive combined attacks,” DiXi Group President pointed out.
Attacks on substations around nuclear power plants, disintegration of the energy system, a significant increase in the number of missiles and drones for attacks – these are just some of the methods that the Russians are using in their attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure. One of their goals is to fragment the unified system into energy islands with surpluses and shortages of electricity.
Olena Pavlenko emphasized this during her speech at the panel “Resilience: the Impact of Energy Infrastructure Destruction, and How to Protect It. Lessons for the Europeans from Ukraine”, moderated by Eastern Circles President and Co-Founder Anastasiya Shapochkina.
DiXi Group President highlighted the need to ensure:
- protection;
- standardization;
- flexibility of grid balancing;
- decentralization of generation.
