Trypilska TPP in 2015.

Trypilska TPP (Ukrainian: Трипільська ТЕС) was a 1800 MW thermal power station located on the Dnipro river, about 40 km downstream of the city of Kyiv, in Ukraine, built by the Soviet Union in 1969 and completed in 1977.

During the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the station was permanently disabled on 11 April 2024 after Russian missiles set fire to the main turbine hall.[1] It was the largest power plant in the Kyiv Oblast region.[2]
