Preface

This reports gives an overview of the on going situation of energy saving and 
alternative power sources in Ukraine and demonstrates the potential resources 
available to close the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant (NPP). The report is compiled 
from both published and unpublished material that have been submitted to 
Greenpeace Ukraine. The report also contains some proposals which reflect 
the opinion of the organisation towards the matters in question.

The report is not intended to be a comprehensive and complete integrated analysis of 
the energy balance in Ukraine. The facts and figures in the report may be subject for 
further additions, editions and corrections. The report herein purposely does not 
analyze all the components of fuel and power supply balance for two reasons. Firstly, 
this would make the document extensive, difficult to read and analyse and, in such a 
case, would demand much more time and labour to develop - our parameters were 
restricted by time. Secondly, we did not see our task as an attempt to analyze the fuel 
and power supply balance of the country as a whole, including all its possible supply 
and demand components. Such a task might be a long-term challenge for a 
workgroup. Aside from that, current economical instability (particularly within the 
power generation industry) substantially complicates the task. The document was 
targeted to show that the problem of substituting power generating capacity necessary 
to put the Chernobyl NPP out of operation is somehow speculative, and also to 
demonstrate possible feasible means to solve the problem.

Greenpeace Ukraine greatly acknowledges everybody who supported our work and 
assisted us, those people who without any doubt, have somehow affected the 
Greenpeace attitude to the document: V.F. Gershkovich (Candidate of Sciences, Eng., 
the head of the Center for Energy Saving of KievZNIIEP); V.M. Didenko (the head of 
the Analytical Department of the National Energy Saving Center of the Ukrainian 
Power Industry Ministry); A.S. Dupak (the director of the Institute of Power Supply 
Technologies and Research); B.P. Korobko (Candidate of Sciences, Eng., the deputy 
director of the State Scientific-Research, Design-Construction Institute of Unorthodox 
Power Generation and Electric Engineering of the Ukrainian Power Industry 
Ministry); A.S. Matviychuk (senior consultant on power generation and power supply 
of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine); V.I. Melnik (the head of the joint department of 
the Economy Ministry of Ukraine); V.P.Parkhomenko (the head of the power supply 
department of the Economy Ministry of Ukraine); A.A.Petrov (Candidate of Sciences, 
Egg., the project coordinator of Hagler Baily, Consulting Inc.); V.S.Stogniy 
(Candidate of Sciences, Eng., the deputy director of the Ukrainian Branch of 
"International Laboratory" International Scientific Culture Center); E.P. Buravlev 
(Candidate of Sciences, Eng., the head of the environmental department); V.E.Tonkal 
(Doctor of Sciences, Eng., professor, corresponding member of the National Acad. 
Sci., the director of the Energy Saving Problems Institute); S.P.Denisiuk (Candidate 
of Sciences, Eng., senior research associate); V.I.Usatenko (senior consultant on the 
Chernobyl disaster problems of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine); C.A.Fil (the 
manager from German Industrila RO (DIV); S. V. Yuatskevich (senior engineer of 
the Council on Scientific and Technical Progress and Environment of the Ukrainian 
Power Industry Ministry), and many others.
