Quote from Energoatom: "This became possible after two blocks of the plant were placed in hot shutdown."

Details: ZNPP staff are reportedly continuing to work on the launch of systems to restore the heat supply in Enerhodar. Currently, the water temperature is 51 degrees Celsius.

Energoatom noted that this is not enough to provide Enerhodar with heat and hot water in full, but even this temperature allows it to protect the city's utility networks from damage in cold weather.

Background: Since May, the supply of heat and water to Enerhodar citizens has been provided by the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, not the thermal power plant, which had to be shut down due to terrorist actions by the Russian occupiers.
