Energoatom reported how many nuclear power plant units are under repair.

Energoatom plans to connect all nuclear power units to the heating season

As of October 4, out of nine nuclear power units, only one is still under scheduled maintenance, reported Petro Kotin, head of Energoatom.

He said: "The main issue was to reload all the power units so that we could work with them. These are nine power units located on the territory controlled by Ukraine. One power unit remains, which will be connected in mid-October".

Each nuclear power plant (NPP) has prepared 100 measures for the heating season, added Kotin.

In early October, another NPP power unit was connected to the Ukrainian power grid, adding 1000 MW of capacity. It was brought out of repair 12 days earlier than planned.

It is also known that Energoatom is looking for new sites for the construction of nuclear power plants. In Ukraine's strategy up to 2050, it is planned to increase the capacity of domestic nuclear generation.

It was previously reported that Russian strikes on Ukraine's power grid could lead to emergencies at one of the three operating nuclear power plants, control over which is maintained by Kyiv.

Energy Minister Herman Halushchenko expressed confidence that during the upcoming winter all nine nuclear units will operate. He noted that the repair campaign has clear timelines.
