    No electricity shortage, Kherson CHPP disrupted due to massive shelling

    Power generation and consumption

    No electricity shortages have been recorded and are not expected for the current day. Electricity generated in Ukraine is sufficient to meet the needs of consumers. Commercial electricity imports are also planned. If necessary, internal reserve capacities will be used.

    One unit and two buildings of TPPs have been put out of service for emergency short-term repairs. At the same time, 1 TPP unit came back online after emergency repairs.

    The situation is under control. No outage schedules are applied.

    Consequences of shelling

    Massive shelling knocked out power to two 35 kV overhead lines in Kherson, which hampered the operation of the CHPP. However, power engineers are working to ensure that there are no interruptions in heat supply.

    A 110 kV overhead line in Donetsk region was disconnected due to shelling. Household consumers and two coal mines lost power. Five people were brought to the surface. The line is now back online and all consumers have been reconnected.

    State of the grid

    For technical reasons, a 110 kV overhead line in Donetsk region was disconnected. As a result, household consumers and the railway lost power, but there were no disruptions in train traffic. All consumers have been reconnected.

    Situation at the ZNPP

    The water level in the cooling pond remains stable at 15.64 metres. This is sufficient to meet the needs of the station.

    Import/export

    Electricity imports totalled 19,619 MWh. There were no exports.
