    CONSEQUENCES OF BAD WEATHER

    As a result of the thunderstorm that swept across the country and the resulting technological disruptions, 77 settlements in Zhytomyr, Cherkasy, Kyiv, Zakarpattia, Chernihiv, Sumy, and Odesa regions lost power. Most of them are in Zhytomyr, Cherkasy and Kyiv regions.

    Repairs are ongoing.

    CONSEQUENCES OF SHELLING

    At night, the enemy struck again at the territory of Ukraine. No hits to energy infrastructure facilities were recorded.

    POWER GENERATION

    The repair campaign at thermal, hydro and nuclear generation facilities is underway. The electricity produced by Ukrainian power plants is fully sufficient to meet the needs of consumers. There is no shortage.

    SITUATION IN THE FRONTLINE REGIONS

    Enemy terror continues in the frontline and border regions with russia. Some consumers in Mykolaiv, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia, Sumy, Kharkiv, Kherson and Chernihiv regions are cut off due to shelling.

    Repair crews are working where the security situation allows.

    CONSEQUENCES OF THE KAKHOVKA HPP DAM BLOW-UP

    Efforts are underway to record and eliminate the consequences of the flood caused by the dam blast. In Kherson, 12,700 consumers are still without power.

    Power engineers are working to restore power supply. Restoration work has been slowed down, in particular, due to constant shelling.

    SITUATION AT THE ZNPP

    There is a slight decrease in the water level in the cooling pond. It is currently at 16.39 metres. This is enough to meet the needs of the plant.

    SITUATION IN THE REGIONS

    Due to technological disruptions, 4 settlements in Poltava region are without power supply.
