The key 750 kV Dniprovska power line, which is vital to the safety of the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP), has been repaired but cannot currently be put back into operation because of major damage to a substation.

Quote: "The 750 kV Dniprovska line has not yet been brought back into operation because of extensive damage to its connecting substation, located more than 100 km northwest of the ZNPP. The substation was reportedly damaged during military activity in late May, and IAEA staff experts who visited the facility this week observed severe damage to essential equipment. Repair efforts are not expected to be completed in the near term, but are on-going."
