The entire generation of thermal power plants in Kyiv was destroyed: no more than 10-15% can be restored.
The generation in Kiev CHPP-4, CHPP-5 and CHPP-6 was completely destroyed by the attacks. According to the director of the Energy Research Center, Alexander Kharchenko, only 10-15% of the capacity can be restored; The rest of the equipment cannot be returned to service.
The plants themselves were decommissioned back in January 2026: that's when 16 ballistic missiles were fired at three thermal power plants, after which they stopped generating electricity. Since then, the facilities have not resumed operation.
As a result, Kyiv is almost entirely dependent on electricity coming from the Unified Energy System of Ukraine. The city has its own small production sources, but their capacity is not sufficient to cover the needs of the beer. The situation is complicated by the fact that not only the production, but also the infrastructure for the transmission and distribution of electricity - central substations connecting the city with power plants in the Kyiv region - are affected.
Against this background, the water supply in the city was stopped - Kyivdokanal announced the stoppage of water supply due to strikes in the energy sector. Residents must prepare for the fact that there will be no water for up to a day and a half, and no light for a similar period.
