You do understand the difference between "down" and "out" don't you?
Russia are careful not to hit the power generation, they go for substations and transmission infrastructure.
It's quite strategic, and repairable.
Think of it as puppy training for the Ukrainian citizens, when they let their government do something bad, Russia rubs their nose in it.
Not at all.
They target the core TPP and HPP without mercy to deliver catastrophic damage.
Only not ALL of them.

In two days, they have taken out 30% of the whole power generation in the 404.
They are facing not the distribution problem, but the deficit of generation - that is why all the export ceased.
Edit : for the obvious reasons, NPP won't be strikes, but the supportive infrastructure for those .. well ...
Anyway, if we take ut the ZNPP that was 30% or so of the whole balance, if Russkie will finish the job, 404 will be left with some 20% of the original electricity production cap.
Oh that will hurt, even considering that there is no industry anymore anyway.
