A new power plant to be built on the site of the destroyed Kakhovka HPP after the de-occupation of the Kherson region

Ukrhydroenergo has started expert discussions on quickly blocking the dam after the de-occupation. Experts from the design institute and builders are involved.

"There is a washout of the hydroelectric facilities, and we understand that we must build a new station very quickly. We will build a more beautiful and powerful plant on the same site," Ihor Syrota, Director General of Ukrhydroenergo, says. 

Experts are also discussing measures to supply water from the Dnipro cascade's upper reservoirs to supply the regions that will suffer from water shortages. It is about three or four regions.

Ukrhydroenergo has submitted a new balance sheet to the Ministry of Energy to reduce water consumption at its facilities.

It will be recalled that Kakhovka HPP is completely destroyed. The plant is not repairable. According to the preliminary estimate, the reservoir is expected to drain within four days.
