"A vital offsite electricity supply to the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant has been destroyed by shelling and there is little likelihood a reliable supply will be re-established, the United Nations’ nuclear watchdog chief has said.
Rafael Grossi, the director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), said shelling had destroyed the switchyard of a nearby thermal power plant."

Offsite power was lost again yesterday, but the plant is now reconnected to the grid, according to the Director General of the IAEA.

Rafael MarianoGrossi, Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency, 3:33 AM · Oct 12, 2022 · Twitter Web AppOur team at #Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant informed me this morning that the plant has lost all of its external power for the 2nd time in five days. Its back-up diesel generators are now providing electricity for its nuclear safety and security functions.
This repeated loss of #ZNPP ’s off-site power is a deeply worrying development and it underlines the urgent need for a nuclear safety & security protection zone around the site.
