Quote: "On 22 March, Ukrainian power engineers returned the Dniprovska PL-750kV overhead power line to service, which was damaged this morning during a massive missile attack of the Russian Federation," the statement said.

Currently, the temporarily occupied Zaporizhzhia NPP is once again connected to Ukraine's unified energy grid via two power lines: Zaporizhzhia TPP – Ferroalloy with a voltage of 330 kV, and Dniprovska, which provides power for the station's own needs.

Background: 

  • NNEGC Energoatom reported that the Zaporizhzhia NPP was once again on the verge of blackout after the night attack by the Russians.
