Russian troops massively attacked one of DTEK's thermal power plants. As a result of the shelling, the energy facility suffered significant damage and completely stopped producing electricity.

This was reported by DTEK's press service on the morning of October 23.

According to the company, the Russian attack caused significant damage to the thermal power plant's equipment. Because of this, the plant can no longer generate electricity.

DTEK did not specify which thermal power plant was hit or in which region it is located. Also, no information has been released yet on the number of damaged power units, the amount of lost generating capacity, or possible timelines for restoring the facility's operation. There is also no information yet about injured employees.

This is another strike on the company's thermal generation. According to DTEK, since the start of the full-scale Russian invasion, the energy holding's thermal power plants have been subjected to over 230 attacks.

In particular, on September 8, Russian forces carried out several waves of strikes on one of DTEK's TPPs. At that time, the plant was also forced to completely stop producing electricity due to serious equipment damage.

The new attack occurred amid ongoing electricity supply restrictions in Ukraine, introduced due to previous Russian strikes on energy infrastructure.

According to a statement from NPC Ukrenergo, scheduled hourly power outages of one to two stages are planned in some regions on October 23. The restrictions are set from 06:00 to 23:59.

During the same period, power limitation schedules for industrial enterprises will be in effect in some regions. The energy system operator explains the need for such measures by the consequences of massive Russian attacks on energy facilities.

However, these schedules were announced as early as October 22, before DTEK's new statement. It is currently unknown how much the shutdown of another thermal power plant will affect the electricity deficit and the duration of outages.

Ukrenergo warns that the situation in the energy system may change due to new shelling. Consumers are advised to follow current schedules on the official resources of local power grid operators.
