On Monday, September 5, due to a fire that occurred after shelling by the russians, the last power transmission line connecting the ZNPP with Ukraine's energy system was disconnected.

Energoatom states this.

"Today, September 5, 2022, due to a fire caused by shelling, the 330 kV ZTPP – Ferosplavna power transmission line was disconnected, that is the last line linking the ZNPP/ ZTPP hub to the power system of Ukraine! As a result, power unit No. 6, currently powering the ZNPP's in-house needs, was unloaded and disconnected from the grid," Energoatom emphasizes.

They emphasize that during the last three days, the russian occupying forces have continued intensive shelling of the territory around the Zaporizhzhia NPP.

As a result, the 750 kV ZNPP – Dniprovska, 330 kV ZTPP – Kakhovska, and 330 kV ZTPP – Melitopol power transmission lines were damaged and disconnected.

"The ZNPP 750/330 kV autotransformer (AT) was also damaged. Other lines of the ZNPP/ZTPP hub were damaged even earlier.
