External Power Restored to Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Plant After 19th Wartime Blackout

Energoatom confirmed that external power was restored to the temporarily occupied Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant on Saturday, June 13, at 2:30 p.m. local time. The station had lost off-site electricity on June 10 following the failure of the ZaTES – Ferrosplavna No. 1 backup line, forcing the facility to rely on emergency diesel generators to keep its critical safety systems online.
