On December 9, 2025, a fire broke out at the Taean Thermal Power Plant, a coal-fired facility located in Taean County, approximately 140 kilometers southwest of Seoul, South Korea.

Ukraine launched a wave of strikes on major energy facilities inside Russia overnight, hitting regions far from the front line and causing explosions and temporary blackouts, according to Russian officials and local media reports.

The reconstruction of the thermal power plant in Azerbaijan’s Mingachevir will result in the savings of 1.5 billion cubic meters of gas, equivalent to the annual production from the Absheron field, Deputy Minister of Energy Elnur Soltanov said on Monday.
