Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Plant Restores Power on Two Lines as Ferrosplavnaya-1 Reconnected

IAEA‑monitored repairs under a local ceasefire enabled the return of a backup link vital for the site's safety systems.

Overview

  • The plant said external electricity supply is now provided via two high-voltage lines, with Ferrosplavnaya‑1 back in service after being out since May 7.
  • The second link, Dneprovskaya, was brought back on October 23 following a 30‑day outage caused by shelling, according to the plant’s statement.
  • Crews began fixing the remaining damaged section of Ferrosplavnaya‑1 on November 8 under a ceasefire arranged with IAEA mediation.
  • IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi announced the start of the repairs in a post on the agency’s X account, and IAEA experts remain on site to monitor.
  • The restored redundancy boosts the station’s resilience and supports reliable heat supply for the city and the plant in the coming heating season, the plant said.
