At 14:30 on June 13, 2026, the external power supply to the temporarily occupied Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) was restored.
The plant house loads are powered via a 330 kV overhead transmission line.
As a reminder, at 21:09 on June 10, ZNPP lost its external power supply following the disconnection of the “ZaTPP – Ferospalna No. 1” power transmission line. As a result, the plant switched to backup diesel generators, which ensured the operation of critical safety systems.
That incident became the 19th blackout at the Zaporizhzhia NPP since its occupation by russian troops and the seventh since the beginning of 2026.
Energoatom emphasizes that every loss of external power supply poses serious risks to the nuclear and radiation safety of the largest nuclear power plant in Europe.
Only the return of the Zaporizhzhia NPP to the control of Ukraine and its legitimate operator can guarantee the safe operation of the facility and eliminate threats to Ukraine, Europe, and the world.
