History
Enerhodar was founded on 12 June 1970 for building and serving the Zaporizhzhia thermal power station.
For two years, the town had no name. Zaporizhzhia TPP was under construction, and the town grew. On November 23, 1972, the village of power engineers was named Enerhodar.
The complex development of Enerhodar was combined with the high rate of construction of the thermal power plant. Residential areas, kindergartens, the Energodar Hotel, and the Palace of Culture "Sovremennik" were built simultaneously with the plant's units. Zaporizhzhia Thermal Power Plant reached full capacity in September 1977.
It obtained city status in 1985, while part of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic of the Soviet Union. Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, the largest nuclear power plant in Europe, was built there in the 1980s. Construction of the building began in 1980, and its first unit was commissioned in late 1985. In 1991, the city became part of independent Ukraine.
The city's two power plants continue to be major employers for its inhabitants into the 21st century.
