As of 17 December, the Ukrainian energy system continues to recover, but the shortage of electricity in the system, due to the consequences of nine missile attacks, is still significant.

"The process of bringing the units of nuclear power plants, with the exception of occupied Zaporizhzhia, to the level of planned capacity continues. Thermal power plants are gradually resuming operation, and hydroelectric power plants continue to operate on schedule. Emergency recovery operations are being carried out at power facilities damaged by shelling," the report says.

The company adds that the state of power grids across the country is also complicated by weather conditions: rain and snow, frost and strong winds lead to icing of equipment. Repair teams work around the clock. 

Recall: On Friday, large-scale missile attacks by the Russian Federation on the electric power infrastructure of Ukraine resulted in the loss of more than 50% of the country's combined energy system consumption.
