Energoatom puts 1000 MW NPP unit into operation after repairs

Energoatom connected a 1000 MW nuclear power unit to the Ukrainian power grid 12 days ahead of schedule, the company reported.

"On October 1, after scheduled maintenance, Energoatom specialists successfully connected a power unit of one of the NPPs to the grid. The power is still being built up. Thanks to the high-quality work of the nuclear workers, the unit was taken out of repairs 12 days ahead of schedule," the company said on Telegram on Tuesday.

They added that after the unit reaches full capacity, the power grid would have an additional 1000 MW of power.

"The repair campaign is entering the home stretch and by the beginning of the autumn period, all nine units located in the territory controlled by Ukraine will be ready to operate during the most difficult months. Thanks to the team for their good work in difficult conditions," said head of Energoatom Petro Kotin, emphasizing that the work is being carried out efficiently and ahead of schedule.

As reported, after the occupation of Zaporizhia NPP, nine units at Pivdennoukrainsk, Khmelnytsky and Rivne NPPs with a total installed capacity of about 7.8 GW have been operating in the Ukrainian energy system since March 4, 2022.
