Repairs to a key power line and other energy infrastructure facilities at the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Station have been completed. However, it is not yet possible to resume operations due to damage to the substation.

Reuters reports this.

The IAEA reported that the repair work, carried out as part of a temporary local ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia, concerned two separate sites: the the 750 kV ‘Dniprovska’ power line and the distribution substation at the Zaporizhzhia Thermal Power Station, which helps supply the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Station with electricity via the 330 kV ‘Ferosplavna-1’ backup line.

However, the “Dniprovska” line has not yet been commissioned due to significant damage to the substation connecting it.

“The line has been repaired, but it still needs to be commissioned,” explained IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi.

It is noted that repair work on the substation is ongoing, but is not expected to be completed in the near future.
