Khmelnytskyi Nuclear Power Plant

Khmelnytskyi Oblast, Ukraine

The 380th largest power station in the world

2 GW · Capacity

The Khmelnytskyi Nuclear Power Plant generates nuclear power in Ukraine. The plant is operated by Energoatom. Two VVER-1000 reactors are operational, each generating 1000 MW (net) of electricity, with two AP1000 reactors under construction. Khmelnytskyi Nuclear Power Plant is connected to the Rzeszów–Khmelnytskyi powerline, one of three 750 kV lines running between Ukraine and the European Union. On two occasions in November 2023, explosions were heard near the Khmelnitsky Nuclear Power Plant and its two Soviet-era reactors, which was assumed to be the result of near-misses by Russian missile attacks on or near the facility.
