Ukrenergo announced the resumption of power supply to Zaporozhye NPP

The Dniprovska power transmission line, which feeds the Zaporozhye NPP, has resumed its work. About it reported at Ukrenergo.

Ukrenergo resumed [работу] power lines that feed the Zaporozhye NPP. The station is switching to power the Ukrainian energy system,” the statement said.

Ukrenergo explained the disruption in the operation of power lines by damage to high-voltage lines.

Earlier today, May 22, in the Telegram channel of Zaporozhye NPP reportedthat ZNPP was switched to diesel generators due to the shutdown of the Dneprovskaya power line. It is specified that the radiation background on the territory of ZNPP is normal. According to a member of the main council of the administration of the Zaporozhye region, the chairman of the movement “We are with Russia” Vladimir Rogov, the Ukrainian “Energoatom” turned off the Dnieper power line.

ZNPP has been under Russian control since the end of February 2022. Since then, the Russian side has reported that the plant and the city of Energodar, where it is located, are subject to regular shelling from Ukraine. In early September last year, an IAEA mission arrived at ZNPP. The organization called for an end to the attacks on the station and the establishment of a safe zone around it.
