en.Wedoany.com Reported - Ukraine's state nuclear power company Energoatom has reached the midpoint of its planned preventive and medium-term maintenance program for 2026. Acting CEO Pavlo Kovtonyuk stated that some power units at the Khmelnytskyi and Rivne nuclear power plants have completed maintenance and been reconnected to the grid, while maintenance work on other units is proceeding as planned or is about to commence. Repairs are also underway at the South Ukraine Nuclear Power Plant.

He emphasized that all planned preventive maintenance has been completed an average of four days ahead of schedule. This maintenance campaign began in April and will continue until October. The work schedule has been coordinated with Ukraine's energy company and grid operator Ukrenergo, aiming to balance unit outages to avoid significant system deficits. The primary goal is to ensure that all nine nuclear power units in Ukrainian-controlled territory are operational by the autumn-winter season.

Currently, nuclear power provides over half of Ukraine's electricity. Completing maintenance ahead of schedule allows the system to gain approximately 70 million kWh of additional generation capacity. Energoatom noted that optimizing maintenance processes without compromising quality provides additional available capacity for the grid, helping to ensure the security of electricity supply during subsequent high-demand periods.
