Regardless of the current situation with the supply of electric energy to Crimea an energy bridge to the Peninsula will be put on schedule √ before the end of the year, said the head of the Ministry of energy of Russia Alexander Novak. "An energy bridge to the Crimea will be introduced on schedule √ before the end of the year, Regardless of the current situation with the supply of electric energy to Crimea ", √ the expression quoted Novak news Agency. An energy bridge to Crimea built during the Federal program of development of Crimea until 2020. The project, which predusmatrivaet the laying of underwater cable across the Kerch Strait with a flow of about 850 MW, is being implemented to ensure the independence of energy supply in the Crimean Federal district on supplies from Ukraine. it is planned that by 2016 the energy bridge from Krasnodar Krai will be delivered about 800 MW of electrical power per day. These volumes will allow to satisfy the load during winter peak periods, when consumption rises to 1-1, 2 thousand MW per day. According to the April order of the government of the Russian Federation, the first phase power bridge with a capacity of up to 400 MW should be running up to 25 December 2015. First it was claimed that the Price of works related to engineering survey, design and construction of electric grid facilities for the Crimea, is 47, 3 billion. At the end of September, the General Director of "Krymenergo" Victor Plakida said that Crimea after the Peninsula strip of the power bridge from the Krasnodar territory and the construction of 2 major power plants in case of need will be able to supply electricity to Ukraine.

In normal mode, the Crimea provides itself with 30% with electric power generation and 70% √ power flow from Ukraine. In case of emergency: Peninsula at the expense of own sources of electric power will be able to supply themselves by 70-80%. In 2015 on-site generation of electrical energy on the Peninsula grew by more than 28%. In addition, by the end of the year is expected to completion of construction of the first phase of the energy transition from Krasnodar Krai with a capacity of up to 400 MW per day. The second phase of similar capacity will be constructed in summer 2016.
