Nine nuclear power units operating in Ukraine’s energy system - Energoatom

In the power system of Ukraine at the moment, all nine nuclear power units located on the government-controlled territory are in operation, including one with a temporary 600 MW cap.

That’s according to Ukraine’s state-run nuclear generation operator Energoatom, Ukrinform reports.

"On December 17, as of 18:00, all nine nuclear power units located on the territory controlled by Ukraine are operating in the power system. The capacity of one of the power units is limited to 600 MW due to the unpreparedness of the power system to accept the entire possible amount of electricity it generates, as the power infrastructure objects were again damaged as a result of yesterday's shelling," the statement reads.

Energoatom recalled that six more power units of the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant captured by the Russian troops had been stopped. Their connection to the power grid is being blocked by enemy forces. The NPP continues to constantly receive from the energy system of Ukraine about 100 MW to cover own needs.

As reported by Ukrinform, on December 16, the Russian Federation once again delivered a massive blow at Ukraine’s energy infrastructure facilities. Due to damage inflicted, emergency power outages were introduced across the country.

Of the 76 missiles fired on December 16, Ukraine’s Air Defense Forces shot down 60.
