Details
Due to the surplus of electricity observed in the Ukrainian power system for the second week in a row, several power units of nuclear power plants are operating at reduced capacity, and Energoatom JSC is preparing them for scheduled repairs
It is noted that the repair campaign in the nuclear industry was scheduled to begin on March 13.
However, the current situation allows us to start it 5 days earlier, on March 8. This will allow us to prepare nuclear power units for the 2024/25 outage faster and optimize repair and maintenance schedules, including fuel refueling.
The company said that the maximum optimization of the repair schedule will allow Ukrainians to have a stable electricity supply both in summer and during the next heating season.
As of March 7, Ukrainian NPPs generated 6,950 MW, which is the largest volume among all generators. Nuclear power plants operate stably and reliably
