KYIV, Feb 23 – Ukrhydroenergo has lost 1,500 MW of generating capacity since the invasion of the Russian occupation forces into Ukraine, Ihor Syrota, CEO of the company, said in an interview published on its website on Thursday.

"I must say that today the total losses of the company's installed capacity are almost 1,500 MW," he stated.

As the head of Ukrhydroenergo explained, this led to a significant decrease in the participation of hydroelectric power plants in covering the peak part of the daily power schedule of Ukraine's integrated power system, as well as limiting the possibilities of frequency and power regulation.
