Since November 18, the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant has twice been on the verge of complete disconnection from an external source of electricity. Energy workers managed to restore one of the power lines to the power plant.
About this informs press service of the Ministry of Energy.
Energy workers managed to restore the high-voltage power line that connects the temporarily occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant with the unified energy system of Ukraine.
By in words Minister of Energy Herman Galushchenko during the meeting of the IAEA Board of Governors in Vienna, the situation at the ZNPP worsened due to shelling.
“The situation becomes even more dangerous due to frequent interruptions in the external power supply. Since the occupation, the Zaporizhzhya NPP has been disconnected from the main power lines almost every month due to Russian attacks. This week, the plant was on the verge of a complete blackout for the second time,” he added.
In addition, all nuclear power plants of Ukraine are under threat, in particular, in the controlled territory.
“The attack on November 17, when Russia launched more than 120 missiles and 90 drones, resulted in damage to energy infrastructure facilities, including substations, which are key to the operation of Ukrainian nuclear power plants,” the report says.
We will remind:
On November 22, the Zaporizhia NPP was on the verge of blackout for the second time in a week due to Russian shelling.
