It is noted that on the night of Saturday, November 30, due to Russian shelling, the air line that feeds the ZNPP was damaged.
“Restoration work began immediately after receiving the necessary permits from the military,” the message reads.
Currently, the occupied Zaporizhzhia NPP is powered by both the main and backup high-voltage power lines, Ukrenergo adds.
As reported by the Ministry of Energy of Ukraine, the Zaporizhia Nuclear Power Plant (ZAES) was on the verge of blackout for the third time since November due to Russian shelling, as a result of which one of the power lines was damaged.
Zaporizhzhia NPP is the largest nuclear power plant in Europe. Russian troops occupied the city of Energodar and the nearby Zaporizhzhya NPP at the beginning of March 2022.
The territory of the station is periodically subjected to shelling, for which Ukraine and Russia blame each other. The Ukrainian authorities also stated that the Russian army used the nuclear power plant to store military equipment and deploy its servicemen.
