Due to the extensive damage caused by Russian missile strikes, it will take years to restore the Dnipro HPP.

It will take years to restore the DniproHES to the extent it was operating before the Russian attack. Ihor Syrota, CEO of Ukrhydroenergo, said this live on Suspilne TV channel, UNN reports

We already understand that DniproHES is one station that will be out of service for a long time. We cannot yet understand how much time it will take, but we already understand that it will take years to restore the station before the missile strike

- Sirota said.  

He reminded that more than 6 missiles hit DniproHES-2, so the damage was extensive. 

According to him, it is currently impossible to dismantle all the rubble, as both the ceiling and the walls with crane beams have collapsed onto the engine room. It is necessary to dismantle the upper part of the machine hall to get to the lower part.

Syrota said that on Saturday, March 23, a meeting was held with the head of the Zaporizhzhia Regional Military Administration to ensure that State Emergency Service specialists with equipment to dismantle the ceiling joined the relief efforts. 

"The dam itself has not been damaged to date. Only the crane beams on the dam and the bridge crossing have been damaged.  We will try  to restore the bridge crossing as soon as possible," said Sirota. 

He also indicated that it would take 10 days to understand whether it would be possible to connect the station to the generation. 

Recall 

On the morning of March 22, during a massive attack by the Russian Federation , 8 rocketswere fired at the Dnipro HPP.

After the oil leak caused by Russia's attack on the Dnipro hydroelectric power plant, the water quality in the Dnipro is gradually improving, although some areas still have elevated levels of oil products.
