KYIV, July 3 – The Zaporizhia NPP was reconnected to the only available standby transmission line, four months after the connection was disrupted, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) reported on Monday.

"The ZNPP's connection to the single remaining 330 kilovolt (kV) power line – out of six such back-up lines before the conflict – was cut on 1 March due to damage sustained on the other side of the Dnipro River and restored in the evening of 1 July. Work to reconnect the power line had been hampered by the difficult security situation in the southern region," the report notes.
