On Thursday, August 25, due to fires in the ash pits of Zaporizhzhya TPP, located next to Zaporizhzhya NPP, the fourth communication line of ZNPP with the energy system of Ukraine was disconnected twice. This happened for the first time in the history of the station. This was reported by Energoatom.
Three other communication lines were previously damaged during shelling.
"As a result of this, two working power units of the station were disconnected from the network. Thus, the actions of the invaders caused a complete disconnection of the ZNPP from the power grid - the first in the history of the station," the message says.
According to the company, the NPP's own power supply needs are provided from the energy system of Ukraine through the communication line between the ZNPP and Zaporizhzhya TPP.
"There are no comments regarding the operation of automation and safety systems. Start-up operations are underway to connect one of the power units to the grid," added Energoatom.
