Background
Ladyzhyn power station is a six-unit coal-fired power plant with a total capacity of 1,800 MW. The plant was completed between 1970 and 1971.
The power plant is owned by DTEK Westenergy JSC, a subsidiary of DTEK Energy, which in turn is owned by SCM (System Capital Management) Limited.[3][4]
Unit 5 has been mothballed since at least 2018. [5] Unit 6 was mothballed in 2020, meaning that the power station was operating with 1,200 MW of capacity.[6]
On 21 February 2022, ahead of the planned connection of the Ukrainian power system to the European system, it was reported that only one unit of the plant was operating at that time, with three under repair and two more mothballed.[7]
Accidents
Unplanned outages are frequent at the Ladyzhyn power station.[8] In the first seven months of 2021, there were 31 emergencies at the Ladyzhyn power station that required a stoppage of energy production.[9]
In May 2021, four workers received serious burns and were hospitalized due to a gas leak at the Ladyzhyn power station.[10]
In January 2022, two workers died of electric shock while performing work at the plant.[11]
In December 2025, a fuel oil spill into the Southern Bug River was reported near the Ladyzhyn power station. Regional prosecutors stated that the spill was recorded in the river area adjacent to the plant, prompting a pre-trial investigation into violations of water protection regulations.[12] Following the fuel oil spill, DTEK stated that the release of petroleum products from the Ladyzhyn power station may have been caused by equipment damage resulting from mass Russian drone and missile attacks. According to the company, extensive destruction could have led to oil-containing substances entering engineering systems, while inspections and mitigation measures were ongoing.[13]
War in Ukraine
In October 2022, amid several days of air strikes, Russian missiles attacked the power station twice. The second attack damaged critical infrastructure and injured several people.[14]
The plant stopped working on November 23 as a result of Russian missile attacks. In Vinnytsia, 18,000 people were without heating. Shelling had been going on since October 10 with significant destruction.[15]
The plant was shelled again in January 2023, resulting in significant damage.[16][17] The units were therefore assumed mothballed, as of June 2023.
A report from December 2023 stated that an incident at the plant (not related to shelling) resulted in electricity cut. The blackout was eliminated.[18] It therefore appeared that the plant had previously restored electricity production. Therefore, the plant was was assumed to be operating as of January 2024 in some capacity, but it is not known which units are in operation.
As a result of Russian missile attacks in March 2024, all power units were completely or partially damaged. The power units are in various degrees of destruction: from complete to more than 50%.[19]
In November 2024, it was reported that the plant has stopped operating after the attack on November 17th. Therefore it appeared that the plant was operating in some capacity prior to that.[20] A Russian news source reported that the facility was restored after its destruction in 2024 and continued operating.[21] Another Ukranian source reported that the plant restored up to 80% of its capacity within several months and as of December 2025 "four or five units were in service". [22] However, no reliable confirmation of these claims were found.
On 30 October 2025, Russian forces attacked the Ladyzhyn power station as part of a mass missile and drone strike. The city of Ladyzhyn lost electricity, heating, and water supply. The city council secretary stated that an alternative heating system was being prepared and water delivery arranged for affected residents.[23]
On 3 February 2026, Russian forces struck Ladyzhyn as part of a mass attack on Vinnytsia Region, leaving 50 settlements without electricity. Fires broke out at the plant and emergency services worked to extinguish them.[24]
As of February 2026, the plant had not been operational since the end of 2025, with footage of the destroyed turbine hall circulating online.[25]
In 2026, DTEK Energy held several tenders for medium-repair and restoration works at Ladyzhyn power station, mainly for Units 1 and 2. A December 2025 tender referred to fuel-preparation equipment that was "in reserve or operation" at Units 1-4 in 2026. The tenders indicated ongoing repair or readiness work at Units 1-2 and possibly Units 1-4, but did not confirm that any specific unit had resumed electricity generation.[26][27][28]
Environmental impact
Following the December 2025 fuel oil spill linked to damage from Russian attacks, in April 2026 the Vinnytsia Region Centre for Disease Control and Prevention published the results of monitoring. Specialists analysed 56 water samples from the Southern Bug River, the city water supply network, and groundwater sources including public wells and artesian boreholes near the incident site. All samples were found to be within permissible sanitary standards for petroleum product content. Continuous water quality monitoring in the Ladyzhyn community was ongoing pending full completion of remediation works.[29]
Legal proceedings
In May 2025, the Commercial Court of Lviv Oblast ordered DTEK Westenergy JSC to pay UAH 813.7 million (approximately US$19.7 million) to grid operator Ukrenergo for dispatch management services provided from February 2022 to June 2023. The ruling was subject to appeal.[30]
