KYIV, Oct 17 – The 750 kV ZNPP - Dniprovska line of the Zaporizhzhia NPP, which received external power from the Ukrainian power system, was once again disconnected due to rocket attacks by the Russian military on remote substations, and the plant switched back to providing its own needs with diesel generators, Energoatom has reported.

"Today, October 17, Russian terrorists once again fired at critical infrastructure substations in the territory controlled by Ukraine, as a result of which, at 03:59, the 750 kV ZNPP - Dniprovska line, was disconnected. During the transition process, due to a short-term voltage drop, the backup transformer of ZNPP needs and diesel generators were launched," Energoatom said, describing the situation.
