"Russia Destroys Over Half of Ukraine's Power, Sparking Winter Blackout Fears"
TL;DR Summary
Russian air strikes have destroyed or seized over half of Ukraine's power generation capacity, reducing it from 55GW to below 20GW and causing widespread blackouts. The EU is alarmed by the destruction of 9.2GW of energy generation since March, and recent attacks have targeted critical thermal and hydroelectric power plants. Ukraine faces significant challenges in repairing and replacing damaged infrastructure, with fears of severe energy shortages in winter. European countries are aiding with shipments of energy equipment, and Ukraine is increasing energy prices and adopting green technology to address the crisis.
