'Someone has to stay': how Ukrainian power plant workers keep the country running
The Guardian visits a Soviet-era coal-fired thermal installation to explore how it has held up to Russian attacks.
Machinery is covered in thick dark streaks of grime, the residue of heating insulation that burned and rained down on the equipment. A roof girder, 10 metres long, is impaled in the floor. Oil tanks and machines are strafed with shrapnel marks.
Russia has been systematically targeting Ukraine's energy system since the start of the full-scale war, leading to regularly scheduled blackouts and frequent emergency power cuts.

Eraring lifeline a mixed blessing for a coal community in limbo
The NSW government's decision to extend the 40-year-old power station for another two years has some locals breathing a sigh of relief - but others are ready for a post-coal future.
Eraring, which supplies one-fifth of NSW's electricity, is now obliged to generate half that share - or 6 terawatt-hours a year - until August 2027. It may then run for another 20 months but without state support.
Belinda Giblin, lead organiser for the Collieries' Staff and Officials Association who came together with Electrical Trades Union and Australian Manufacturing Workers Union to launch a campaign after Origin Energy, the owner of Eraring Power Station refused to negotiate a new contract with coal mine owners Centennial on viable terms.

Sellafield nuclear site hacked by groups linked to Russia and China
Malware may still be present and potential effects have been covered up by staff, investigation reveals.
Some of Sellafield's most sensitive activities such as moving radioactive waste, monitoring for leaks and checking for fires may have been compromised.
The UK's most hazardous nuclear site, Sellafield, has been hacked into by cyber groups closely linked to Russia and China.
The astonishing disclosure and its potential effects have been consistently covered up by senior staff at the vast nuclear waste and decommissioning site, the investigation has found.
Sellafield, formerly known as Windscale, a multi-function nuclear site (primarily nuclear waste processing, storage and nuclear decommissioning). Nuclear power generation took place at Sellafield between 1956 and 2003. Seascale, Cumbria.

'Energy war': Ukraine tries to protect electricity supply before winter
It seems likely Russia will target the grid with its missiles again, but engineers say they are better prepared now.
Over spring and summer Ukraine's largest private electricity company, DTEK gradually restored energy capacity. Before 2022 this stood at 6,000MW. It fell to 3,000MW after Russia seized two of the firm’s thermal power plants - one in eastern Luhansk province - and bombed others. It is now back up to more than 4,000MW. Remarkably, DTEK has opened a new windfarm in the south of the country, boosting power by a further 114MW.
Nine million Ukrainian homes that lost electricity have got it back again. In the Kyiv region alone DTEK brigades have repaired nearly 10,000km (6,000 miles) of power lines, brought down during six weeks of occupation.
It seems likely, however, that Moscow will launch a second missile campaign this winter, designed to cripple Ukraine's energy grid again. Last Wednesday Ukrenergo, the state-owned electricity transmission system operator, said "enemy shelling" damaged a thermal power plant. More strikes are expected, after a summer in which Russia targeted Ukraine's grain export facilities.
This time round however, Danyliuk, a power distribution expert with 25 years' experience, is optimistic. "In 2022 we had to improvise. Now we are better prepared," he said.
The building resembles a roadside bomb shelter. Inside, behind thick concrete walls, is a bank of circuit breakers. They give off a low hum. Vulnerable cables have been buried underground. The mini-complex was shrapnel-proof, Danyliuk said. "Of course, if they drop a bomb precisely on the roof it will trash everything. But generally we can fix damage in two days."

'Energy war': Ukraine tries to protect electricity supply before winter
It seems likely Russia will target the grid with its missiles again, but engineers say they are better prepared now.
Over spring and summer Ukraine's largest private electricity company, DTEK gradually restored energy capacity. Before 2022 this stood at 6,000MW. It fell to 3,000MW after Russia seized two of the firm’s thermal power plants - one in eastern Luhansk province - and bombed others. It is now back up to more than 4,000MW. Remarkably, DTEK has opened a new windfarm in the south of the country, boosting power by a further 114MW.
Nine million Ukrainian homes that lost electricity have got it back again. In the Kyiv region alone DTEK brigades have repaired nearly 10,000km (6,000 miles) of power lines, brought down during six weeks of occupation.
It seems likely, however, that Moscow will launch a second missile campaign this winter, designed to cripple Ukraine's energy grid again. Last Wednesday Ukrenergo, the state-owned electricity transmission system operator, said "enemy shelling" damaged a thermal power plant. More strikes are expected, after a summer in which Russia targeted Ukraine's grain export facilities.
This time round however, Danyliuk, a power distribution expert with 25 years' experience, is optimistic. "In 2022 we had to improvise. Now we are better prepared," he said.
The building resembles a roadside bomb shelter. Inside, behind thick concrete walls, is a bank of circuit breakers. They give off a low hum. Vulnerable cables have been buried underground. The mini-complex was shrapnel-proof, Danyliuk said. "Of course, if they drop a bomb precisely on the roof it will trash everything. But generally we can fix damage in two days."
New power lines carry electricity to homes and businesses.

Sellafield nuclear site hacked by groups linked to Russia and China
Malware may still be present and potential effects have been covered up by staff, investigation reveals.
Some of Sellafield's most sensitive activities such as moving radioactive waste, monitoring for leaks and checking for fires may have been compromised.
The UK's most hazardous nuclear site, Sellafield, has been hacked into by cyber groups closely linked to Russia and China.
The astonishing disclosure and its potential effects have been consistently covered up by senior staff at the vast nuclear waste and decommissioning site, the investigation has found.
Sellafield, formerly known as Windscale, a multi-function nuclear site (primarily nuclear waste processing, storage and nuclear decommissioning). Nuclear power generation took place at Sellafield between 1956 and 2003. Seascale, Cumbria.

The UK's most hazardous nuclear site, Sellafield, has been hacked into by cyber groups closely linked to Russia and China.
The astonishing disclosure and its potential effects have been consistently covered up by senior staff at the vast nuclear waste and decommissioning site, the investigation has found.
Sellafield, formerly known as Windscale, a multi-function nuclear site (primarily nuclear waste processing, storage and nuclear decommissioning). Nuclear power generation took place at Sellafield between 1956 and 2003. Seascale, Cumbria.

Sellafield nuclear site hacked by groups linked to Russia and China
Malware may still be present and potential effects have been covered up by staff, investigation reveals.
Some of Sellafield's most sensitive activities such as moving radioactive waste, monitoring for leaks and checking for fires may have been compromised.

Germany at a crossroads: what a nuclear power station tells us about its energy dilemma
Neckarwestheim’s nuclear power station was granted a stay of execution amid Russian gas shortage. Some want it to stay while others can’t wait for it to go.
So far, so typical for a rural community in the German state of Baden-Württemberg. However, this settlement of 4,200 residents has one defining characteristic: it is located right next to one of Germany’s three remaining nuclear power stations.
The challenges facing this picturesque village illustrate how the energy crisis is affecting Europe’s largest economy, as Russia’s weaponisation of the gas supply has complicated Germany’s planned transition away from nuclear.
In more recent times, the village has flourished; its population has doubled over the four decades the power station has been there.
But this is coming to an end, and Neckarwestheim II is living on borrowed time, limiting the local authority’s largesse. Along with Germany’s two other remaining nuclear power stations, it was supposed to be turned off by the end of the year, undergoing the final stage of an 11-year phase-out process initiated by Angela Merkel’s government after the 2011 Fukushima disaster in Japan.
However, the urgent need to ensure winter energy supply as Russia throttled flows of gas into Europe led the federal government in Berlin to grant a stay of execution.
