Rivne-Kyiv High Voltage Line

The proposed project consists of construction of a new 750 kV power transmission line.
This public sector project involves the construction and operation of two new transmission lines: the 750 kV Rivne NPP – Kyiv transmission line of the total length 353 km and the 135 km 750 kV Khmelnytsk NPP - Chernobyl NPP line diversion to Kyiv substation.
The line and the diversion will be constructed along new routes and as part of the assessment a number of alternative routes were considered.
The objective of this project is to increase the reliability of power supply to consumers in Kiev region and improve the overall stability of the grid system. Increased reliability of the power system will increase overall sector efficiency will thus have indirect environmental benefits and facilitate international co-operation in the sector.
