    Ministry of Energy of Ukraine, posted 04 May 2024 10:56

    Situation in the power system as of 4 May: the enemy has attacked the energy infrastructure of the Dnipropetrovsk region; Ukraine received surplus electricity from Poland and asked for emergency assistance from neighbouring countries.

    GENERATION, TRANSMISSION, CONSUMPTION

    Due to network restrictions on the transmission system operator's lines, blackout schedules were applied yesterday in Kharkiv region and for industry in Kryvyi Rih. Restrictions in these regions are still in effect today. In other regions, consumers were not restricted.

    Over the past day, consumers' needs were covered by our domestic generation, commercial imports, and emergency supplies. Yesterday, during the evening peak hours, at Ukraine's request, emergency electricity was supplied from the power systems of Romania, Poland and Slovakia. The total volume of emergency supplies was less than one per cent of daily electricity consumption.

    Also, during daytime hours, at Poland's request, Ukraine received emergency electricity surpluses from the country's power system.

    CONSEQUENCES OF THE SHELLING

    At night, the enemy attacked the energy infrastructure of the Dnipropetrovsk region. As a result, the substation lost power, along with two mines (people were not brought to the surface), a water utility, industrial and domestic consumers. The consumers and the substation were reconnected.

    SITUATION AT ZNPP

    The water level in the cooling pond is stable at 15.40 metres. This is sufficient to meet the needs of the plant.

    IMPORT/EXPORT

    For the current day, electricity imports are forecast at 5,712 MWh.
