Situation in energy system as of March 7

Situation in the power system as of March 7: no electricity shortage is registered - 7 units of TPP generating equipment are in reserve; more than 200 consumers in Sumy are without gas due to shelling

GENERATION

There is no shortage of electricity registered in the power system. Three TPP units were short-term out of service for emergency repairs, and after the issues were resolved, two units were returned to operation and one was put into standby. Also, due to technical problems, a hydrogenerator at one of the hydroelectric power plants was put out for emergency repairs. There are 7 units of TPPs and CHPPs in reserve, which will be put into operation if necessary. Commercial electricity imports and exports are also planned.

CONSEQUENCES OF SHELLING

A 35 kV overhead line in Zaporizhzhia district was disconnected after artillery shelling, which resulted in the de-energization of substations and overhead lines and damaged wires.

A UAV fragment damaged a low-pressure gas inlet pipeline in Sumy, disconnecting two apartment buildings from gas supply, and setting off a fire in one of the apartments. More than 200 consumers were left without gas supply.

SITUATION AT ZNPP

The 330 kV line supplying ZNPP remains de-energized.

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

IMPORT/EXPORT

For the current day, electricity exports to Poland, Slovakia, Romania, Moldova and Hungary are forecast to reach 12,655 MWh and imports to reach 221 MWh.
