This report seems to support Google AI. But, nevertheless, this report is good reading. Lots of interesting information on Ukraine's power grid. Some interesting tidbits about wartime operations and Russian frustrations with trying to regain control. features.csis.org/ukraines-pot...
Another good report explaining Ukraine's electrical grid. Unfortunately, does not refute Google AI. Still appears that Ukraine's electrical grid is especially susceptible to bombing campaigns and attacks, especially it's critical substations. warontherocks.com/2025/02/the-...
Russia has been attacking transmission lines that Ukraine uses to import electricity from EU.
A lot of good info here from the International Energy Agency. But again it describes Ukraine's efforts in decentralizing an energy grid that was highly centralized when it was designed and built. www.iea.org/reports/ukra...
A bit of esoteric info, but interesting. Cisco helped fix the problem. "Ukraine’s high-voltage electricity substations rely on GPS for time synchronization. When GPS is jammed, stations can’t accurately report to power dispatchers the state of the grid." blog.talosintelligence.com/project-powe...
I learned a little bit about Ukraine's energy grid, but I can't find anything saying it was designed from the beginning to resist bombing campaigns. Not sure why my memory thinks otherwise.
