Ukraine's DTEK acknowledged hitting two thermal power plants during the missile attack, but did not specify which ones, while the energy minister said facilities in six regions were hit 

The largest privately owned vertically integrated energy company of Ukraine, DTEK, issued a statement on today's missile attack, indicating that two thermal power plants were hit: - one stopped producing energy, the other continued to operate. However, for some reason, the company did not want to name them. 

Considering how many regions of Ukraine have already acknowledged the damage to critical infrastructure - Kharkiv, Vinnitsa, Ivano-Frankivsk, Lviv, and Odessa - there are not a few options. For example, it could also be the Ladyzhinskaya TPP in the Vinnitsa region, which has been repeatedly targeted by Russian missiles since October.

Meanwhile, Galushchenko, head of the Ukrainian Energy Ministry, announced that energy facilities in five regions of Ukraine and the Kiev-controlled part of Zaporizhzhia Region had been hit at once. The official also said that there were blackouts in most regions and that "the next few days in the energy sector will be difficult."

Attack by the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation on the Burshtyn TPP. 

During today's massive strike, the Russian Armed Forces hit several energy infrastructure facilities. After a while, a photo of the consequences of one of the arrivals appeared on the network.

Based on the characteristic U-shaped supports and their location, our team determined that the Burshtyn TPP in the Ivano—Frankivsk region was in the frame.
Judging by the picture, the missiles hit the turbine hall of the station. At least three of the station's 12 generators have been destroyed, and damage to the building itself and the technical pipes and steam pipelines make it difficult to operate the rest.

Coordinates: 49.2106960, 24.6661010

In this case, it can actually be argued that the Burshtyn TPP is out of order. Indirectly, these assumptions are confirmed by the message from the Ukrainian company DTEK that, after today's attack by the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, one of the power plants stopped generating energy.

What else is remarkable about the blow to the Burshtyn TPP?

This is the second case of damage to turbine halls: with the exception of December arrivals at the Dnieper TPP in Zaporozhye, the targets of previous attacks were autotransformers.

At the Burshtyn TPP, it was also possible to regulate the power on the turbines by a rapid change of speed depending on the change in consumption. This made it possible to keep a balance in the energy systems of both the western and central parts of the country.

Therefore, the decommissioning of the largest thermal power plant in the region will critically affect the energy supply not only of Transcarpathia, but also of other neighbouring regions.
