According to the statement from Ukrenergo's press service, Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) has successfully transitioned from a backup power source to a standard scheme, ensuring the required amount of electricity for normal operation. It is crucial to note that electricity supply services for residential consumers in Zaporizhzhia and Dnipropetrovsk regions remained uninterrupted, thanks to the activation of backup lines.

Currently, Zaporizhzhia NPP is receiving electricity necessary for its safe operation from Ukraine's integrated energy system. This restoration marks a significant step in ensuring the stability of not only the nuclear power station but also the country's overall energy system amid wartime challenges.
The incident underscores the importance of energy security in the face of military threats. Ukraine, confronting these challenges, continues its struggle to preserve its infrastructure, providing electricity to its citizens and ensuring the operation of strategically vital facilities such as nuclear power plants.
