UN experts expressed concern about the vulnerability of Ukrainian nuclear power plants due to Russian attacks on the power grid. The situation is getting worse due to the approach of cold weather and damage to important electrical substations.
Zaporizhia NPP lost one of its two power lines for the third time in November due to enemy shelling. The station is currently powered by only one line, which threatens a complete blackout.
Due to the hostile attack, the transmission system operator is applying hourly power outage schedules. Power engineers have restored power to 29 thousand consumers, and imports of 9200 MWh from 5 countries are planned.
ZNPP was twice in a week on the verge of a complete blackout due to Russian shelling. Ukrainian power engineers have restored the second power line, but the situation remains critical.
Due to the bad weather, 325 settlements in nine regions of Ukraine are without power. The power grid is still experiencing a power shortage, with outage schedules from 6:00 to 22:00.
Energy Minister Galushchenko discusses the consequences of Russian attacks on nuclear power plant substations with IAEA Head Grossi. The IAEA is ready to organize new monitoring missions to document the effects of the shelling.
Energy Minister Galushchenko called on the IAEA to take tougher measures against Russia over the attacks on nuclear power plant substations critical to the operation of nuclear power plants.
Due to the bad weather, 109 settlements in 6 regions of Ukraine are without power. Blackout schedules are in place in 11 regions and Kyiv, and electricity is being imported from 5 countries.
One of the two power lines of Zaporizhzhya NPP was cut off due to Russian shelling. The plant is holding on to the last power line, which threatens a complete blackout and a possible accident.
The water level in the cooling pond at ZNPP is 14. 13 meters, which is the standard for safe operation of the plant. The pond is fed from the Zaporizhzhya TPP canal, where the water level is 16.37 meters.
Enemy shelling damaged one of the high-voltage power lines at Zaporizhzhia NPP. The plant has switched to a backup line, and Ukrenergo repair teams are carrying out repair work.
Energoatom called Russia's threats to stop the IAEA mission at ZNPP an act of nuclear terrorism. The reason was Grossi's statement about the experts' stay at the plant “until the war is frozen”.
The russian Foreign Ministry announced the possible suspension of the IAEA mission at the Zaporizhzhya NPP due to the statements of Rafael Grossi.
Ukraine's power system remains balanced, importing 3039 MWh of electricity from 5 countries. The water level in ZNPP's cooling pond is 14.13 meters, which is sufficient for the plant's operation.
High electricity consumption has been recorded in Ukraine, leading to a power shortage. NPC Ukrenergo has temporarily restricted supplies to industry and business from 7:00 to 20:00.
November 9 marks the Day of the Guinness Book of Records, which includes about 200 Ukrainian achievements. Among them are the largest airplane, the longest hair, and the strongest woman on the planet.
Ukraine's power system remains balanced, but needs to be saved in the evening. Electricity is imported from Poland, Slovakia, Romania, Hungary, and Moldova in the amount of 1900 MWh.
The experts of the Kyiv Scientific Research Institute of Forensic Expertise estimated the timeframe for the recovery of various ecosystems in Ukraine after the war. It will take 30-50 years to fully restore forests, 10-20 years for water resources, and 10-40 years for protected areas.
Due to cloudy weather, electricity consumption increased by 4. 4% compared to the previous day. Power shortages persist during peak hours, and 5 settlements remain without electricity due to the weather.
There was a critical shortage of qualified personnel at the occupied ZNPP. The occupiers decided to organize short-term courses to train “nuclear specialists” in Enerhodar.
Ukraine's power system remains balanced but requires rational use of electricity from 17:00 to 22:00. Overnight, power supply was restored to almost 21,000 consumers.
Experts warn of possible power cuts in Ukraine due to Russian attacks and cold weather. The country's power system lost more than 9 GW of capacity after the August shelling.
Ukraine's energy system remains balanced despite the damage to its infrastructure. It is planned to import electricity from 5 countries in the total amount of 4004 MWh.
Ukraine's power system remains balanced, but needs to be rationalized in the evening. It is planned to import 7748 MWh of electricity from Poland, Slovakia, Romania, Hungary, and Moldova.
The IAEA has reported a small water leak from a pulse line at one of the six ZNPP reactors. Repairs are underway and are expected to be completed by the end of the week.
Ukraine's power system remains balanced despite the damage to infrastructure. It is expected to import 12047 MWh of electricity from 5 countries, and the water level in the ZNPP pond is sufficient for the plant's operation.
Electricity consumption in Ukraine is in line with seasonal trends, but there is a shortage during peak hours. The power system is stable, with imports from 5 countries totaling 9,542 MWh.
President Zelenskyy said that Ukraine has the capabilities to seize the Kursk nuclear power plant, but does not do so on principle. According to him, such actions would equate Ukraine with Russia.
More than 5,800 cases of direct damage to Ukraine's environment due to Russian aggression have been recorded. The explosion of the Kakhovka hydroelectric power plant and the occupation of the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant pose a threat not only to Ukraine but also to the entire region.
Due to the sunny weather, electricity consumption decreased by 3. 4%, but there is still a shortage during peak hours. Ukraine imports electricity from 5 countries.
