Consequences of Ukraine Shelling of Kakhovka Hydro Power Plant
The Kakhovka HPP is located in the city of Novaya Kakhovka, in the Kherson region, which came under the control of Russian forces in March 2022.
Troops of the Kiev regime have been shelling the dam in Novaya Kakhovka over the past year as part of strikes deliberately targeting Russian civilian infrastructure.
On Tuesday morning, the Ukraine armed forces launched an attack on
the
Novaya Kakhovka Hydro Power Plant, destroying the
upper part destroyed, according to Novaya Kakhovka city Mayor Vladimir Leontyev.
Why is Kakhovka HPP Important for the Region?
The Kakhovka HPP is situated on the Dnepr River, five kilometers away from the city of Novaya Kakhovka in
Russia's Kherson region.
The Kakhovka dam, erected in 1956 as part of the Kakhovka HPP, stands 30 meters high.
The length of the dam is almost 4 km, and its height is 16.5 meters. It is operated by 28 hydraulic locks measuring 12 by 9 meters. Water from the Kakhovka reservoir cools the 5.7 GW Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant. Furthermore, its waters feed the arid regions of the Kherson region and the Crimean Peninsula via the
North Crimean Canal.
The dam, besides hydroelectric power generation and irrigation, has also facilitated navigation, with the deep water allowing shipping up and down river. The dam itself has a road and a railway crossing it.
There are a number of risks linked with damage to the Kakhovka HPP and its dam from Ukraine's shelling:
Water Supply & Irrigation
Zaporozhye NPP (the shelling of the Kakhovka HPP could be fraught with catastrophe at the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant (NPP))
