Work on the restoration of the Dnipro hydroelectric power plant damaged by Russian strikes may begin as early as May. The debris is currently being cleared after Russian missile strikes. The head of Zaporizhzhia RMA Ivan Fedorov said this on Thursday during a telethon, UNN reports .
"We are currently clearing the rubble and destruction. This is what the enemy has caused with its 20 rocket attacks since the beginning of the new year on the territory of the Dnipro hydroelectric power plant," said Fedorov.
According to him, teams are also working in parallel in two areas: restoring the energy component and restoring logistics.
I hope that in May the restoration work will start. But we have to understand that this is a highly complex structure, and we need a highly sophisticated engineering approach to restore DniproHES. We plan to implement this this year, but a lot of factors can affect this
Recall
Russian troops struck Ukraine's largest hydroelectric power plant, the DniproHES in Zaporizhzhia, in a massive attack on March 22. Ukrhydroenergo reported serious damage.
The Ministry of Energy of the Russian Federation called this strike the largest attack on the Ukrainian energy sector in recent times.
Estimated damage from the Russian attack on the Dnipro hydroelectric power plant as of March 26 amounted to 140 million hryvnias, but the calculation is ongoing as environmental damage is being assessed.
