Ministry of energy of Ukraine

Operation of the power system of Ukraine during March 13, 2022

Electricity

Ukraine's energy system has been operating stably under fire from Russian invaders for the 18th day in a row. The frequency in the network is maintained by Ukrainian power engineers at the level of 50 Hz.

All types of power plants work: nuclear, thermal, hydroelectric, RES. The level of consumption has stabilized.

As a result of a missile strike on the International Center for Peacekeeping and Security near Novoyavorivsk in the Lviv region, 2 high-voltage 10 kV lines were damaged, which supply electricity to several settlements. By 2.00 pm CET, electricity supply has been restored to all consumers.

Atomic generation

Ukrainian experts of NEC Ukrenergo completed repair works on the 330 kV Lisna-ChNPP line and resumed power supply to the Chornobyl NPP and Slavutych. The cooling systems of spent nuclear assemblies will again operate normally, not from backup power.

Ukraine's nuclear power plants are operating stably. The current capacity of four Ukrainian NPPs provides the necessary electricity production for the country's needs. Radiation, fire and environmental conditions at operating nuclear power plants and adjacent territories have not changed and are within current standards.

Oil and gas industry

Facilities of Ukrtransgaz - Storage Facility Operator of Ukraine's UGS network, are under heightened security and continue to operate normally, except for the Krasnopopivsky underground gas storage facility in Luhansk region (stopped due to hostilities in the immediate vicinity of the facility).

JSC Ukrgazvydobuvannya continues to produce gas at all its facilities, except for those near the line of contact.

JSC "Ukrtransnafta" and JSC "Ukrspetstransgaz" continue to work in a regular mode under martial law.

The Shebelinsky Refinery (Refinery) has been suspended for more than two weeks due to the threat of shelling.

Gas transmission system

Employees of the GTS Operator of Ukraine are working to localise the damage caused by the shelling and resume gas transportation to Ukrainian consumers.

On 13 March, 37 gas distribution stations - the last links in the gas transmission infrastructure leading to Ukrainian consumers - remain disconnected. The company's emergency crews resume gas transportation to the country's settlements as soon as possible.

In particular, in the Luhansk region, OGTSU gasmen launched the Popasna GDS, 20,000 residents of the city are again with gas. In the Mykolaiv area enemy shells damaged objects of the Operator of GTS and a network of regional gas. The Bashtanka and Prybuzke gas distribution stations were shut down. At the request of Mykolaivoblgaz the station was stopped because of destructions of the city gas distribution grids.

Ukrenergo

The power line, which supplies the Chornobyl nuclear power plant and the town of Slavutych was damaged by the occupying forces after the Ukrenergo repair crew restored the line.

Yesterday, March 13, the Ukrenergo team repaired a high-voltage power line that supplies the Chornobyl NPP and the city of Slavutych. At 18:07 CET Ukrenergo started to feed the line to restore the infrastructure of Chornobyl NPP and the city of Slavutych.

However, before the power supply was fully restored, the occupying forces damaged it again. The repair crew of NEC Ukrenergo should head to the occupied territory near the Chernobyl nuclear power plant again, to find and repair new damage to the line.

Ukrenergo emphasizes that the Chornobyl NPP is an important facility that cannot be left without a reliable energy supply. The power supply of Slavutych residents also depends on the power lines of the nuclear power plant. Therefore, unimpeded and quick access of Ukrenergo repair crews to these lines for inspections and repairs is extremely important not only for Ukrainian consumers but also for Europe as a whole.

A stable power supply will help avoid a repeat of the Chernobyl disaster and save the lives and health of people who might be affected.
