Ukrainian hydropower could pay for the shutdown of up to three nuclear power units in the short term.
The loss of capacity at Zaporizhzhya NPP, where one of the power units was turned off on August 5, was paid for by Dniester PSP, Ukrhydroenergo General Director Igor Sirota said on Tuesday, August 9, Interfax-Ukraine wrote.

“When the Russians blew up the Zaporizhzhya NPP and had to shut down the unit, the Dniester PSP carried the load with three of its units simultaneously and produced 8.5 million kWh per day,” he said.
Sirota assured that Ukrhydroenergo has reserves for a short period of time in case the two still operating units of ZNPP shut down.
“There are still reserves, even for two blocks, but for a short time,” he explained, noting that during this time the energy system must adjust to resource production.
It will be recalled that on August 6, Russian aggressors fired twice at the ZNPP. The power unit No. 4 were killed at the station. Energoatom reported that the nitrogen-oxygen station and the combined auxiliary building were damaged as a result of the shelling.
