Zaporizhzhya TPP has included power unit No. 2 in the energy system of Ukraine

On Friday evening, the Zaporizhzhya TPP included power unit No. 2 into the energy system of Ukraine. According to the press service of DTEK Energy, the load is being increased. Thus, today the Zaporizhzhya TPP operates with three power units (2,3,4) with a capacity of 550 MW.

In addition, Zaporizhzhya TPP turned on a power unit to compensate for the capacity of power unit No. 1, which was stopped for short-term repairs. As soon as the power engineers eliminate the deficiencies at power unit No. 1, it will be ready to work in the energy system of Ukraine, Rinat Akhmetov's energy holding noted.

As a reminder, due to interruptions in the Ukrainian energy system, the government had to resume electricity imports from the Russian Federation, which reached 700 MWh during peak hours.

Inter RAO (the Russian operator of electricity import and export) has increased the supply of electricity to Ukraine in the daytime from 200 MW to 500-700 MW. Exports have been increased at the request of Ukraine, Inter RAO said. They also noted that the country had asked to conclude an agreement on mutual emergency assistance.

At the same time, Ukraine has sharply increased the purchase of electricity from Belarus. Judging by the website of the energy system operator Ukrenergo, at the time of delivery of electricity from the two states exceeded 1 GW. Today, according to Ukrenergo, electricity supplies from Belarus are 600 MWh, and Russian electricity imports are 100 MWh.
