Ministry of Energy of Ukraine
Ukraine's Energy Minister Herman Galushchenko expressed confidence that sanctions against the Russian nuclear industry will be imposed shortly after the issue is discussed at a hearing in the US Congress.
At Poland's request, Ukraine has accepted surplus electricity, and no shortage is expected, but there are power outages in Chernihiv region, and damage to a gas pipeline in Kharkiv region due to fighting and shelling.
A mine in Donetsk Oblast was cut off from power due to shelling, forcing 5 workers underground. There is no electricity shortage, the situation is under control and necessary repairs are underway.
Ukrainian power engineers have restored the second power line at the russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, ensuring a more stable and secure power supply to the facility.
Due to Russian shelling, a high-voltage power line in Sumy region was disconnected. A nuclear unit at Khmelnytsky NPP was also shut down for technical reasons. No shortage of electricity is expected.
Ukrainian industry increased its electricity consumption during the heating season by 23% year-on-year, reflecting a successful repair campaign and stable energy supply.
Due to the shelling, some consumers in Sumy and Kryvyi Rih were partially left without heat and gas supply, but there is no shortage of electricity.
Due to the electricity surplus, Ukraine transferred 1488 MWh of excess electricity to Poland. Russian shelling caused new damage to power grids in Dnipropetrovs'k and Chernihiv regions.
Despite the war, coal production at Ukrainian mines has been growing steadily, exceeding 194 thousand tons in February 2024, surpassing the pre-war level.
Due to favorable weather conditions and excessive production of electricity at solar power plants in Ukraine, renewable electricity generation has been limited, and no shortage of electricity is expected.
Russians damaged equipment at a Ukrenergo substation in Zaporizhzhia Oblast and gas distribution networks in Kharkiv Oblast, but consumers were not left without electricity and gas supply.
More than 90,000 metering points remain disconnected across Ukraine due to hostilities or technical malfunctions, while power companies have restored power to more than 16,000 consumers over the past day.
A Russian drone attacked a 330 kV Ukrenergo substation in Zaporizhzhya Region. There were also temporary blackouts in Odessa, Kharkiv, Kirovograd, Lviv and Dnipropetrovsk regions.
A fire broke out at a mine in Donetsk region due to shelling, and a transformer caught fire at a substation in Odesa region, causing a blackout, but Ukraine's electricity production is sufficient to meet consumer needs without scheduled outages.
The Minister of Energy of Ukraine discussed the threat of a nuclear incident at the russian-occupied Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant with a representative of the United Kingdom at a meeting of the IAEA Board of Governors.
An attack by enemy Shahed drones in Khmelnytsky region resulted in the disconnection of power to more than 14,000 consumers in 30 settlements, and later 2,500 homes were left without electricity.
At a meeting of the IAEA Board of Governors, the Minister of Energy of Ukraine and the IAEA Director General discussed the results of the IAEA Director General's visit to the occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant and the measures taken to ensure its safety, as well as concerns about the military operations taking place nearby.
Due to Russian shelling in the Donetsk region, the mine was de-energized and 16 workers were brought to the surface.
Ukrainian Energy Minister Herman Galushchenko met with IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi to discuss nuclear safety at the occupied Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant in Ukraine.
The situation at the occupied Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant is deteriorating every day as nuclear fuel is reaching the end of its useful life and qualified Ukrainian specialists are not allowed to visit the plant.
Ukraine's thermal power plants and combined heat and power plants have accumulated 236,000 tons more coal than planned and have more than 1 million tons in stock to successfully complete the heating season.
In Ukraine, more than 350 consumers in 4 settlements were deprived of gas supply due to damage to a steel gas pipeline in Kharkiv region, and 144 residents of apartments in Odesa were left without electricity due to a drone attack.
The Ministry of Energy of Ukraine denies reports that electricity tariffs are being raised and states that all such statements are fake news aimed at destabilizing public sentiment.
Ukrainian nuclear power plants reached a record 100% capacity utilization rate during the heating season.
Ukraine is again exporting surplus electricity to Poland, as new Russian attacks have damaged power grids and de-energized consumers in six regions.
As a result of the fighting and technical problems, some power lines and substations in Ukraine have been temporarily de-energized, but the overall power system remains balanced.
Ukraine's Energy Ministry says there is no shortage of electricity, and Zaporizhzhya NPP continues to be powered by one power line due to a difficult security situation that prevents access to repair the other damaged line.
Despite the attacks on substations in Kherson region, Ukraine's power grid is not experiencing a shortage of electricity due to sufficient domestic production and planned imports and exports of electricity.
Ukraine recorded a surplus of electricity and transferred 1440 MWh to Poland.
Ukraine is modernizing its energy system with the help of Japan by introducing state-of-the-art technologies at gas compressor stations and mobile gas turbines.
