  • On Sunday, the was an uncontrolled overflow of water over the top of the dam at the Lubachów hydroelectric power plant, which were also felt in the Mietków reservoir on Monday, Tauron said.
  • The utility previously said the power plants are located in Lawica, Opolnica, Wrzeszczyn, Nysa, Wlodzice and Olszna according to Reuters.
  • In Austria, Verbund has halted output at the 236MW Ybbs-Persenbeug and 178MW Melk power plants, APA news reported, cited by Bloomberg.
  • Remit data suggested the Ybbs-Persenbeug plant will reduce output until 17 September 23:00 CET, while the Melk facility will shut down until 18 September 11:00 CET. Further output restrictions are expected mid-week, Verbund said.
  • Czech Cez Distribuce has declared a state of emergency in its supply area amid widespread faults on 15 September due to flooding, with eastern Czechia the most impacted. “The breakdown teams have so far completed more than 1,550 trips to breakdowns at the high and low voltage level,” Cez said.
  • Water levels on the Danube river at the Passau measuring point increased further to 8.12m on Tuesday, up from 7.59m on Monday and above the seasonal average of 4.46m due to flooding in parts of NW Europe and Central Europe, BAFG data showed.
