History

The TEC-5 power plant was built in the 1970s under the political system and jurisdiction of the Soviet Union.

On 11 September 2022, in response to the 2022 Ukrainian Kharkiv counteroffensive, the Russian Armed Forces struck the plant with Kalibr cruise missiles. This caused extensive power outages in Kharkiv, Dnipro, Sumy Oblast, and Poltava.[4][1]

During the 22 March 2024 Russian attacks that left over a million people in Ukraine and in Kharkiv without electricity, Kharkiv TEC-5 was also hit.[3][5] The plant was so heavily damaged that it ceased operation.[3] Chief executive officer of the plant Oleksandr Minkovich claimed that "the reconstruction process will last more than one year."[3] The city of Kharkiv became dependent on other regions of Ukraine for its energy needs.[3]
