Electricity surplus in the power system recorded, a coal mine in Donetsk region cut off power due to shelling
POWER GENERATION AND CONSUMPTION
A surplus of electricity was recorded in the power system. Ukraine transferred the surplus to neighbouring Poland (from 11:00 to 13:00). The total volume was 600 MWh.
A thermal power plant unit was taken out of service for short-term repairs.
The electricity generated by Ukrainian power plants is sufficient to meet the needs of consumers.
There are 8 units in reserve that can be put into operation as needed. The power system is balanced. The situation is under control. No blackout schedules are applied.
CONSEQUENCES OF THE SHELLING
As a result of shelling of a thermal power plant in Donetsk region, 110 kV overhead lines were de-energised, leaving household consumers and the TPP’s own needs without power, and also a coal mine (with 25 workers) was cut off. Within an hour, the consumers and the mine were reconnected.
In Chernihiv region, a 0.4 kV overhead line was disconnected as a result of shelling, and 96 consumers were cut off from power.
SITUATION AT THE ZNPP
There is a slight decrease in the water level in the cooling pond. It is now at 15.63 metres.
This is enough to meet the needs of the plant.
IMPORT/EXPORT
Electricity imports totalled 11,641 MWh. Electricity exports for 30-31 December amounted to 210 MWh.
