Yesterday morning, May 5, the enemy again struck at the energy infrastructure of Ukraine, the National Energy Company Ukrenergo reports on Telegram..

In particular, shelling of the power plant continued for more than 2 hours in the Donetsk region, but the enemy was unable to disable it.. The shelling again caused damage to the distribution networks in the Donetsk and Kherson regions. In the Kharkiv region, due to massive shelling of the energy infrastructure of the oblenergo, about 4.5 thousand consumers were de-energized in 3 front-line regions. Consumers were promptly powered by backup schemes. After the permission of the military and the damage was eliminated, the planned power supply scheme was restored.

On the rivers of Ukraine there is a second moderate wave of flood, due to which hydroelectric power plants are actively working. Solar and wind power plants also increased their electricity generation seasonally. The total amount of electricity produced from water, sun and wind is enough to compensate for the capacity of the thermal and nuclear generation put into repair.

The energy system works in a balanced way, there is no shortage of electricity. Exports to Moldova continue, mainly at night.

Warm weather helps to more actively carry out repairs at high-voltage network facilities subjected to Russian attacks.

The power system continues to recover, but the extent of damage is such that restoring the level of reliability of power supply, which was before the massive shelling, requires a lot of resources and time.. Power engineers are still asking, if possible, to transfer the use of powerful equipment to night and day hours or to use powerful appliances alternately. This will allow for a more even distribution of the load and facilitate balancing of the power system..

Earlier it was reported that on May 3, the Russians destroyed one of the power distribution facilities in the Sumy region with an air strike..
