The Energodar Nuclear Power Plant (Russian: Энергодарская атомная электростанция), formerly known as the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP), is located directly on the Kakhovka Reservoir, formed by the Dnieper River[wp], within the city of Energodar, 152.5 kilometers from the Kakhovka Dam and 55 kilometers southwest of the (former) regional capital of Zaporizhzhia[wp].

The Energodar conventional thermal power plant is located approximately two kilometers east of the nuclear power plant. Together, these two plants accounted for approximately 30% of Ukraine's total power plant capacity and provided 23% of all electricity generated in Ukraine in 2021.[1]

The nuclear power plant's total thermal capacity of nearly 20 GW requires a large amount of cooling water, which is drawn from the Kakhovka Reservoir during operation.

To the west of the power plant is a cooling water pond with an area of ​​8.2 square kilometers and a capacity of 47.05 million cubic meters. This pond is filled through an open conduit at the power plant's cooling water reservoir. Normally connected to the reservoir at the same level, this conduit was closed after the Kakhovka Dam wall collapsed, preventing the conduit's contents from flowing back into the reservoir.

Two cooling towers, located more than a kilometer northwest of the reactors on the dam between the cooling water pond and the Kakhovka Reservoir, can be activated if needed to increase cooling capacity. One cooling tower caught fire due to Ukrainian shelling and was irreparably damaged.
