Overview

• IAEA confirmed the tenth complete loss of off‑site power since 2022 after the plant’s remaining 750 kV line disconnected at 16:56 on September 23.
• All emergency diesel generators started, with plant management saying fuel reserves are sufficient and radiation levels at the site are normal.
• The agency warns that each loss of external power elevates nuclear‑safety risk, and its on‑site team is investigating the cause of the outage.
• Russian‑installed officials and plant leadership accuse Ukrainian forces of damaging the last high‑voltage line and stepping up strikes around Energodar.
• Ukraine’s Energoatom says the line on territory it controls is intact and accuses Russia of blocking reconnection and staging a provocation.
