Eight out of nine nuclear power plants in territory controlled by Ukraine are operating at maximum nominal capacity and providing about 55% of the total electricity consumption in the country, state nuclear operator Energoatom said.

The largest volumes of electricity are generated by the South Ukrainian nuclear power station, which has three units.

Khmelnitski has two units and Rovno has four units. One unit is shut down for scheduled maintenance, but Energoatom did not say which.
