No electricity shortage, generation reserves in place, Zaporizhzhia NPP powered by single line after shelling

Power generation and consumption

There is no electricity shortage in the power system. Domestic generation is sufficient to cover the needs of consumers, and commercial imports and exports of electricity are also planned.

A TPP unit is undergoing short-term repairs. There are 6 power units of thermal power plants in reserve, which will be used if necessary.

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

Consequences of the shelling

Work is underway on a high-voltage power line in Zaporizhzhia region that supplies Zaporizhzhia NPP and was disconnected due to shelling the day before. Currently, ZNPP is powered by one line only.

The shelling in Mykolaiv region this morning left 700 consumers without gas supply.

Situation at ZNPP

The water level in the cooling pond remains stable at 15.59 metres. This is sufficient to meet the plant’s needs.

Import/export

For the current day, electricity imports are forecasted at 1,256 MWh, and exports to Poland, Romania, Slovakia and Moldova are also planned – up to 2,708 MWh.
