Due to the shelling, there were new damages in the networks of regional power companies in the regions of Dnepropetrovsk, Kharkov and Kherson.
Russian invaders twice attacked one of the thermal power plants in the eastern region of Ukraine. Ukrenergo reported this on Thursday, December 21.
“In the eastern region, a thermal power plant was shot at twice per day. There was damage to equipment,” the report said.
According to the Ministry of Energy, the equipment was significantly damaged, which is why it is not yet possible to continue the operation of one of the previously closed power units.
At the same time, it was noted that thanks to the sunny weather, solar power plants increased production yesterday. Currently, the electricity produced by power plants of all types is sufficient to supply energy to all consumers.
In addition, yesterday, December 20, was the hottest day since the beginning of December, which reduced electricity consumption.
Currently, the electricity produced by power plants of all types is sufficient to provide energy supply to all legal and household consumers.
However, Ukraine continues to import electricity most of the day from Slovakia, Romania and Moldova. Its total volume is 6630 MWh, with a maximum power in individual hours of up to 563 MW. No exports.
As of Thursday morning, 81 settlements in the Donetsk and Kharkov regions were without electricity due to bad weather, of which 77 settlements were without electricity for more than a day.
Due to technical damage, there is no power to consumers in the Sumy region.
As a result of fighting and other reasons, 467 communities remain without electricity. Due to the shelling, there were new damages to the networks of regional power companies in the regions of Dnepropetrovsk, Kharkov, and Kherson. Emergency restoration work is carried out depending on the security situation and with the permission of the military.
A day before it was reported that in Ukraine there was an emergency shutdown in four thermal power plant units and one thermal power plant.
