One of the two power supply lines of the temporarily occupied Zaporizhzhia NPP was cut off as a result of enemy shelling.

The plant is currently connected to the Ukrainian power grid by only one power line. Power engineers will be able to start restoring power through this line as soon as the security situation allows.

“Zaporizhzhia NPP is again facing a real threat of blackout due to enemy shelling – one of the two power lines connecting the temporarily occupied Zaporizhzhia NPP to the integrated power system of Ukraine has been disconnected once again. Due to the occupation of the plant by the russians, the situation at ZNPP remains threatening, and only the return of control over the plant to Ukraine can guarantee the safe operation of Europe’s largest nuclear power plant,” said Energy Minister German Galushchenko.
