Ukraine continues to struggle with the consequences of attacks on energy infrastructure facilities. In addition, they are engaged in the refutation of fakes that are spread over the network.
In particular, about the operation of nuclear power units. Energoatom decided to refute the statement spread by the network.
All power units are working
As Energoatom notes, the network is spreading false information. It refers to the alleged shutdown of Ukrainian nuclear power units.
We inform you that today all 9 power units of domestic nuclear power plants located in the territory controlled by Ukraine are still operating at the maximum available capacity. – the statement says.
What caused the shortage of electricity
A statement from Ukrenergo appeared earlier. The company noted that on December 28, the shortage of electricity in the territory of our state increased. But the reason for this was the shelling of the gas infrastructure in the East. They were committed by the Russian military.
Therefore, it was necessary to suspend the work of some blocks of power plants. Perhaps it was this information that was perceived somewhat erroneously, and while it was circulating over the network, power plant units became nuclear power units. We do not exclude such a possibility.

Emergency blackout in Kyiv
At the same time , we note that the energy system of the capital is now in an extremely difficult situation. On December 28, stabilization schedules in Kyiv are not valid. To minimize the consequences, power engineers introduced emergency shutdowns.
First Deputy Head of the Kyiv City State Administration Mykola Povoroznik on the air of the Espresso TV channel told how many people in Kiev were left without electricity in the morning. According to available data, it is said about 300 thousand inhabitants of the capital.
In addition, in some areas of Kyiv there is no heat supply, as well as water. First of all, this applies to high-rise buildings. And all because pumping is necessary for pumping water. And it cannot be provided in full due to problems with light.
We remind you of the responsible use of electrical appliances. Don't overload the network. This will avoid accidents that will have to be eliminated by repair teams.
