History.
The decision to build the Chyhyryn DRES fossil fuel power station with the capacity of 4,800,000 kW was adopted by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Ukraine in 1970. Also, it was planned to build a modern town of power engineers for 20 thousand inhabitants. Until 1981, after repeated project changes, the construction was frozen.
While in 1982–1984, preservation of the facilities of the GRES, the Kyiv branch of the Institute "Atomteploelektroproekt" in 1982, developed a technical and economic conclusion of the construction of a nuclear power plant near Chigirin, and in 1983, the Ministry of Energy of the USSR approved this conclusion and it was decided on the banks of the Dnieper River build nuclear power plant
According to the decision of the Central Committee of the CPSU and the Council of Ministers of the USSR of September 21, 1984, "On Additional Measures to Ensure Accelerated Development of Nuclear Power Engineering", it was envisaged the construction of a nuclear power plant at Chigirinskaya site with a capacity of 4000 MW. The order of the Ministry of Energy of the USSR No. 539 dated August 23, 1985 was organized by the Chigirinskaya NPP.
Construction work was carried out until 1989, while under pressure from the public it was not decided to stop construction. The point was set by the Resolution of the Council of Ministers of the USSR of May 19, 1989 "On the Termination of the Construction of the Chigirin NPP".
After.

Possibility of construction restoration.
In 2005, on August 5, Minister of Fuel and Energy of Ukraine I. Plachkov officially announced the possibility of restoration of the construction of the Chyhyryn NPP. But as practice has shown, no restoration of construction has taken place. By 2011, the territory of the boiler house and the adjacent to it were protected by , and in 2011, the security was removed, and all boiler rooms were turned into concrete mountains, only the pipe of the boiler house remained intact.
