Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant occupied by Russian troops has been reconnected to 750 kV line.
This was announced by IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi, informs Censor.NЕТ referring to Interfax-Ukraine.
"ZNPP has restored the connection to the last operating 750 kV transmission line after it was lost for the third time in ten days," Grossi said.
At the same time, he drew attention to the fact that now both the main and reserve lines are available for communication with the power system of Ukraine, but intensive shelling of infrastructure across the country has delayed the restoration of the second backup external 330 kV power line from ZNPP.
"Nevertheless, it is expected that the repair work will be completed today," the IAEA Chairman said.
In addition, the IAEA team present at ZNPP learned about the release of ZNPP Deputy Director General Valeriy Martyniuk, who was detained early last week, the report said.
"Director General Grossi welcomed his release. However, he expressed deep concern about the recent detentions of two other ZNPP employees confirmed by the IAEA," the agency said.
As reported with reference to NNEGC Energoatom, on 17 October, Russians detained and took away to an unknown destination Oleh Kostiukov, Head of Information Technology Service of ZNPP, and Oleh Osheka, Assistant Director General of the plant, and on 10 October, Valeriy Martyniuk, Deputy Director General of Zaporizhzhia NPP for Personnel, was abducted.
Zaporizhzhia NPP, which in the morning of October 17 lost connection with the power system of Ukraine due to the disconnection of the 750 kV ZNPP-Dniprovska line as a result of shelling, first switched to diesel generators, and then was connected to the power system under the backup scheme through the distribution station of Zaporizhzhia TPP.
Who disconnected it prior?

Occupiers released Deputy General Director of ZNPP from staff of Martyniuk, - IAEA
The Russians released Valery Martyniuk, the deputy general director of the National Nuclear Power Plant, who was abducted on October 11.
This was announced by IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi, Censor.NET informs.
Energoatom has not yet confirmed the information about Martyniuk’s release.
Grossi also expressed concern over the detention of two other employees of the ZNPP. “This is another disturbing development that I sincerely hope will be quickly resolved,” Grossi said.
Also, the IAEA stated that the ZANP has restored the connection to the last power transmission line that is active and operates at 750 kilovolts.
IAEA experts present at the ZNPP site were informed by Ukrainian operational staff that the connection was restored at 21:30 - almost 18 hours after the line was disconnected by a protection system that automatically performs such actions in the event of a voltage drop.
“The repeated outages show how precarious the nuclear safety situation remains at Europe’s largest nuclear power plant. They also highlight the need for a nuclear safety zone and security around the facility after frequent attacks at or near the plant in recent months,” Grossi said.

Just prior to the invasion the Ukraine had synced their grid to europe. Now it looks like it is back synced with russia.

Wow, that picture proves everything.
- Russian missile and drone strikes continue for over a week, knocking out much of Ukraine's electric grid;
- Ukraine is wasting precious small arms ammunition in failed attempts to counter Russian Geran-2 drones;
- NATO claims it will send means to counter them - nothing of substance actually revealed;
- Russian forces continue to advance in Bakhmut, indicating Ukrainian forces are stretched too thin;
- Russian General Surovikin is focused on the defense of Kherson which is being evacuated;
- Fighting may reach the city, Russia has in the past withdrawn forces rather than have them destroyed or captured;
- Whatever gains Ukraine makes will be temporary - Kiev is trading its entire army for territory hoping for a political resolution in its favor ahead of a military resolution in Russia's;
