Situation in energy system as of April 25

The situation in the power grid as of April 25: consumers' electricity needs are covered by domestic generation, commercial imports and emergency assistance; in the south of the country, equipment of wind farms was damaged due to shelling.

GENERATION, TRANSMISSION, CONSUMPTION

Due to network constraints 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.

During the evening peak hours (from 17:00 to 22:00), power limitation schedules were applied for industrial consumers in all regions except Kherson region.

Over the past day, the needs of consumers were covered by domestic generation, commercial imports and emergency supplies from Poland, Slovakia and Romania. The total volume of emergency supplies amounted to about 3% of daily electricity consumption.

Also, at the request of the Ukrainian transmission system operator, emergency electricity is supplied during the current day.

We remind you that emergency assistance from neighboring countries is a standard tool for synchronized power systems to interact in case of need. Ukraine, like our partners, also transfers surplus electricity when necessary and possible.

CONSEQUENCES OF SHELLING

Yesterday in one of the southern regions, a shelling damaged the equipment of a wind farm, causing the station to reduce its capacity.

In Chernihiv region, 413 subscribers in 6 settlements were simultaneously disconnected due to hostile shelling.

STATE OF THE GRIDS

In Kharkiv region, equipment at a high-voltage substation was shortly turned off for technological reasons. As a result, a high-voltage overhead line was disconnected. There were no power cuts to consumers.

In Odesa region, a high-voltage substation was shut down for technological reasons. Consumers were not cut off from power.

In Khmelnytskyi region, power grids and substations of the transmission system operator and regional power distribution companies were shut down for technological reasons. About 34,500 customers lost power. All of them were reconnected within an hour.

SITUATION AT ZNPP

The water level in the cooling pond is 15.41 meters. This is sufficient to meet the plant's needs.

IMPORT/EXPORT

For the current day, electricity imports are forecast at 12,786 MWh. No exports are planned.
