  • Situation in energy system on 30 July: no scheduled power cuts expected
    Ministry of Energy of Ukraine, posted 30 July 2024 11:00

    The enemy continues shelling the energy infrastructure in the frontline and border regions. Despite this, there are no plans to introduce power outage schedules today. 116 settlements in 4 regions are without power due to bad weather

    Power generation and consumption

    Today, there will be no scheduled power cuts. Information about any changes can be found on the official websites of regional power distribution companies.

    Due to hostile attacks, Ukraine’s power system has lost 9 GW of capacity. Substations and power lines were particularly affected, so there are restrictions on electricity transmission.

    We urge everyone to consume electricity sparingly. This enables power engineers to keep the grid more stable.

    Consequences of the shelling

    In Dnipropetrovsk region, equipment at one of the substations was damaged due to a drone attack.

    In Chernihiv region, shelling caused a power cut to 2,465 consumers.

    In Zaporizhzhia region, a UAV crash resulted in partial outages at a substation and local industry.

    State of the grid

    In Dnipropetrovsk region, damage was detected at a high-voltage substation. No customers were disconnected.

    In Zhytomyr region, several substations lost power, but power was restored using a backup scheme.

    In Lviv region, the line outage resulted in the de-energisation of substations and disruption of train traffic. The power supply has been restored.

    In Kyiv region, a line was disconnected due to technological disruptions, but power was restored using a backup scheme.

    Emergencies

    In Kharkiv region, sappers found a mine during demining, no one was injured.

    Power outages

    In the morning, 116 settlements in Kyiv, Chernihiv, Zhytomyr and Sumy regions lost power due to bad weather.

    Power companies have restored power to 23,357 consumers affected by the hostilities.

    In total, 501 settlements remain without power supply due to the hostilities and technical failures.

    Situation at ZNPP

    The water level in the cooling pond is 14.81 metres. This is enough to meet the plant’s needs.

    Exports

    No exports take place or are planned.
