Dnipro HPP is the first HPP built on the Dnipro River and the penultimate stage of the Dnipro cascade of hydroelectric power plants. It is located in the Dniprovskyi district of Zaporizhzhya. The installed capacity of the facility as of January 2022 was 1,578.6 MW. Dnipro HPP consists of two power plants: Dnipro HPP-1 and Dnipro HPP-2, which form a single complex located under one dam. Ten hydro units are installed at Dnipro HPP-1, and eight at Dnipro HPP-2.

In Zaporizhzhya, work to eliminate the consequences of Russian missile attacks continues – one person died, 14 people were injured, two more are considered missing.
