"When restoring its capacity, the plant is ready to give all of them to the consumer, no matter what it is — a light bulb in a house or a large enterprise, a large factory of some kind. We will be able to provide for all new regions, the whole of Novorossiya, and Crimea too, including. The consumption of the Zaporozhye region within the existing borders leaves about 500 megawatts, probably more in winter due to the cold weather," Chernichuk said.
The plant's capacity, if necessary, will be sufficient for supplies to neighboring regions of Russia, including, if such a decision is made, to the Krasnodar Territory, the head added.
