    Due to a surplus, Ukraine transferred electricity to Poland

    POWER GENERATION

    The power system of Ukraine experienced a surplus of electricity yesterday. At the request of NPC Ukrenergo to the neighbouring transmission system operator, the surplus was transferred to Poland in the total amount of 1,488 MWh (from 10:30 to 14:00).

    No shortage of electricity is expected for the current day. There are 9 units of generating equipment at thermal power plants in reserve, which will be used if necessary. Commercial electricity imports and exports are planned.

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

    CONSEQUENCES OF SHELLING

    During the day, repeated hostile shelling damaged overhead lines in Chernihiv region, cutting power to 1,500 consumers in 19 settlements.

    The shelling damaged power grids in Dnipropetrovsk region, resulting in the shutdown of OHL 150 and a 150 kV substation.

    The hostilities damaged a gas distribution pipeline in a frontline village in Kharkiv region. Gas supply to 26 consumers was cut off.

    EMERGENCIES

    Two malicious damages without oil spillage were detected at the main oil pipeline in Poltava region. The incident is being investigated.

    NETWORK STATUS

    Equipment at a 110 kV substation in Odesa region was disconnected due to technological reasons, which cut off power to household consumers, who were promptly reconnected.

    SITUATION AT ZNPP

    The water level in the cooling pond has slightly decreased to 15.53 metres. This is sufficient to meet the needs of the plant.

    The 330 kV line supplying ZNPP remains de-energised.

    IMPORT/EXPORT

    For the current day, electricity imports are forecasted at 1,691 MWh. Exports are also expected to reach 6,446 MWh.
