The situation is under control. The system is balanced. No outage schedules are applied.

CONSEQUENCES OF SHELLING

As a result of hostile shelling in Sumy region, a low-pressure gas pipeline was damaged and 26 consumers of an apartment building were disconnected from gas supply.

STATE OF THE GRID

A 110 kV overhead line in Cherkasy region was disconnected for technical reasons, resulting in a blackout at the substation supplying power to residential and industrial consumers. All subscribers have been reconnected.

As a result of technological disruptions, a 110 kV OHL in Donetsk region was disconnected, cutting off power to household consumers.

In Zhytomyr region, substation equipment was switched off, and household and industrial consumers lost power. Within an hour, the equipment was put back into operation and all consumers were supplied with power.

SITUATION AT ZNPP

The water level in the cooling pond is 15.52 metres. This is sufficient to meet the needs of the plant.
