Zaporizhzhia Plant Regains Power Amid Ceasefire

The Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in southeastern Ukraine, under Russian control, has restored its off-site power via the Ferosplavna line. The plant was without external power since August, relying on emergency generators. A local ceasefire enabled repairs, confirmed by the International Atomic Energy Agency.

Power has been restored to the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in southeastern Ukraine, which is controlled by Russia, via the Ferosplavna line, according to Rosatom, Russia's state nuclear corporation.

Since August 20, the facility had been dependent on emergency diesel generators for its vital safety system operations due to the lack of external power. It was a local ceasefire, enforced by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), that allowed necessary repairs to be made.

The IAEA confirmed the restoration of power on social media, citing their chief, Rafael Grossi. The plant is currently functioning normally, as per Rosatom chief Alexei Likhachev's statement.
