Overview
- The Ukrainian grid operator energized the repaired Dniprovska 750 kV line at 09:30 local time, with full site power by 13:00 and the last diesel generators shut down.
- IAEA teams observed demining and technical repairs in ceasefire zones, including replacement of broken cables, a tower support arm and multiple insulators.
- This was the tenth complete loss of off-site power at the plant during the conflict and the longest, lasting exactly one month.
- Work continues on the 330 kV Ferosplavna-1 backup line after additional damage was identified outside the ceasefire area, with the IAEA coordinating access for further repairs.
- Ukraine blames Russian occupation forces for repeated line damage and says crews have restored connections 42 times since 2022, while the shut-down reactors still require constant power for cooling and spent-fuel safety.
