In September Ukraine to start building Europe's largest transforming station

KYIV, July 12 /UKRINFORM/. In September this year Ukraine will launch a project to build a new overhead power line 750 kV with the extension of the Kyivska substation for power delivery of the Rivne and Khmelnytsky nuclear power plants and ensuring the transfer of these powers to central and eastern regions of the country, President Viktor Yanukovych said at an informal meeting with the Club of Editors-in-Chief of the CIS Countries, Baltic States and Georgia in Crimea on Wednesday.

"We'll actually close our system and ensure the development of the Khmelnytsky, Rivne nuclear power plants due to the construction of transmission lines and transforming stations. This will be the largest transformer station in Europe," the president said.

According to him, this project will significantly improve the quality of electricity, which will increase its exports. "We have a huge reserve for export, but wherever we supply this electricity, our customer wants it to be quality," the president emphasized.

He added that today this project is 100% provided with the necessary resources.
