Two nuclear units at two Ukrainian power plants are not operating at full capacity

Two nuclear units at two Ukrainian nuclear power plants (NPPs) are not operating at full capacity, and the generation deficit has increased by 625 MW.

Source: An Ekonomichna Pravda source familiar with the situation

Details: A power unit at one of the NPPs is not operating at full capacity: 200 MW of power has been lost. The source said problems with it began in the spring of 2023.

A nuclear unit at another Ukrainian NPP reduced its capacity on Tuesday, 3 September, creating a deficit of 425 MW.

For security reasons, Ekonomichna Pravda has not named the nuclear power plants in question.

Background: Earlier, Ukrenergo, the Ukrainian state-owned electricity transmission system operator, reported that Ukraine had increased power restrictions due to a decrease in generation at power facilities.
