A 1,000 MW nuclear power unit has been repaired and started supplying electricity.

State energy company Energoatom has connected an additional 1,000 MW nuclear power unit, which has been under repair for the past three weeks,  to the power grid,the Ministry of Energy reported. It had not been in operation since November 23, when Russia succeeded in disrupting the integrity of Ukraine’s energy system with a missile strike. On the night of December 13, after repairs, it was put into operation. All nine power units of the domestic nuclear power plants located on the territory controlled by Ukraine are working, commented Minister Herman Galushchenko. However, six power units of the Zaporizhzhya NPP, controlled by the Russian occupiers, are constantly consuming about 100 MW for their own needs from the energy system of Ukraine instead of generating electricity.
