"Energoatom" took one of the power units out of repair 20 days earlier

One of the nuclear power units of SE "NNEGC "Energoatom" was connected to the power system after repairs, which ended 20 days earlier than planned. This was reported in the Ministry of Energy.

"After an extremely difficult winter, which became a challenge for energy workers and all Ukrainians, the most extensive repair campaign at energy facilities since Independence is underway. Thanks to coordinated and professional work, nuclear engineers managed to carry out and complete the repair of one of the NPP units 20 days earlier. It will add the necessary 1,000 MW of power to the power system to increase its sustainability. For consumers, this will mean: there is capacity in the system, the energy supply will be stable, therefore, there are no reasons for worries and speculations about possible disconnections of household consumers", - comments the Minister of Energy of Ukraine Herman Galushchenko.

In particular, the Ministry of Energy hopes to optimize the repair campaign at other energy facilities. Also, the operator of the transmission system reported that currently electricity generation fully covers consumption.

However, it is planned to go into repairs of other NPP and TPP power units. Therefore, "Ukrenergo" urges to continue to consume electricity sparingly.
