    Ministry of Energy of Ukraine, posted 06 March 2024 10:08

    Over 14,000 consumers were left without electricity due to the shelling of a substation in Khmelnytskyi region

    POWER GENERATION AND CONSUMPTION

    There is no shortage of electricity.

    There are 7 power units of TPPs and CHPPs in reserve to be used if necessary. Domestic generation is sufficient to cover the needs of consumers, and commercial imports and exports of electricity are also planned.

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

    CONSEQUENCES OF SHELLING

    A fire broke out in Khmelnytskyi region as a result of a drone attack on a power company substation, which led to the disconnection of overhead power lines. More than 14,000 consumers in 30 settlements lost power. As of 8:00 a.m., the fire was extinguished, and more than 2,500 customers were left without power. Restoration works are underway.

    NETWORK STATUS

    A 330 kV substation in Odesa region was out of service due to a technological malfunction. Within two hours, the substation’s equipment was brought back online, and there were no power outages.

    SITUATION AT ZNPP

    The 330 kV line supplying ZNPP remains de-energised.

    The water level in the cooling pond is 15.54 metres. This is sufficient to meet the needs of the plant.

    IMPORT/EXPORT

    For the current day, electricity exports to Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Moldova and Hungary are forecast to reach 13,316 MWh, and imports are expected to reach 41 MWh.
