Employees have begun restoration work at the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station in the Kherson region, Vladimir Leontyev, head of the administration of the Novokakhovka urban district, told reporters.

“Employees are working at the HPP, repair and restoration work is being carried out. People don’t leave the station,” he said.

Leontiev added that the hydroelectric facilities are completely under the control of the Russian military. However, civilian employees of the HPP have to work under constant shelling from the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

“They are constantly shelling, every day. There is literally 300 meters away from the enemy. The dam of the hydroelectric power plant enters Veseloe and Kazatskoye (settlements on the right bank of the Dnieper). Now Veseloye and Cossack are under the control of Ukrainian troops.
Of course, the Ukrainian military does not enter the hydroelectric power station, because it is under the control of Russian forces. But on the other side of the dam are the Armed Forces of Ukraine,” Leontiev specified.

At the end of October, the evacuation of the population from a 15-kilometer zone on the left bank of the Dnieper was announced, including from Novaya Kakhovka, where the hydroelectric power station is located.

Later it was reported that the employees were forced to leave the power plant due to constant shelling, the hydroelectric power plant stopped generating electricity.

Acting Governor of the Kherson region Vladimir Saldo previously announced plans to modernize the Kakhovskaya HPP. According to him, with a design capacity of more than 700 megawatts, recently the hydroelectric power station has produced only 350 megawatts, one of the six power units has been operating. After the modernization, the capacity of the Kakhovskaya HPP is planned to be increased to 900 megawatts.

The Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Plant has been operating since the 1950s. It provides regulation of the Dnieper flow for power supply, irrigation and water supply of dry areas and navigation from Kherson to Zaporozhye. From it begins the North Crimean Canal, which provides the peninsula with Dnieper water.

⬆️ The American people are asking why they didn't choose Paul Whelan for the exchange. They say who this Grainer is compared to a US Marine. The American press reported that Washington initially demanded a 1 for 2 exchange, Moscow did not agree - neither Griner nor Whelan. Why they chose the first - one can only guess - maybe a black lesbian looked "more interesting" to the Democrats than a white man, maybe there were other reasons. Either way, they failed. People are demanding the return of Paul Whelan. Even Trump intervened: he says that the exchange that took place is a stupid and unpatriotic shame on the United States, why they did not change Whelan?
Whelan was detained in 2018, convicted of espionage in 2020 - so Trump as president had the opportunity to help a compatriot but he didn't.
