ZaporizhzhiaDiesel generators now power Europe’s largest nuclear plant.
It is the plant’s 16th complete blackout of 2026, Energoatom said.
Its last working 330 kV line, Ferrosplavna-1, tripped at 02:36 after damage, and automatic reconnection failed.
Energoatom says Russia is deliberately disabling the lines, while the plant’s own report names no cause.
Energoatom warns fuel cooling is at risk if the generators fail or run out of fuel.
