No electricity shortage, a CHPP unit has been repaired and will add 250 MW of capacity to the grid

Power generation and consumption

There is no shortage of electricity in the Ukrainian power system. Domestic generation is sufficient to cover the needs of all consumers. Commercial electricity imports are also planned.

After a long repair, a CHPP unit was connected to the grid. It will add 250 MW of additional capacity.

Three TPP units and one block were taken out of service for short-term repairs, while three units of generating equipment were put back into operation after emergency repairs. Seven units of thermal power plants are in reserve and will be used if necessary.

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

Consequences of shelling

Heat supply has been fully restored in Kyiv after the shelling on 7 February.

The hostilities damaged gas distribution pipelines in Kupiansk district of Kharkiv region. More than 20 customers were left without gas supply.

In Nikopol, a gas distribution pipeline was damaged by shelling and consumers were disconnected.

The water level in the cooling pond is 15.59 metres. This is enough to meet the plant’s needs.
