I'm kinda happy for that power plant not to be restarted though.

It's much better for it to be in a shutdown state if it finds itself in the middle of combat again. I know Ukraine needed the power but it getting damaged could cause problems far beyond Ukraine. One Chernobyl was enough. But I hope it has enough cooling water to cool its storage reservoirs.

All the other effects are terrible of course :( And all favour Russia.

It was in shutdown state ever since it was taken by Russia and there were no plans to restart it until the end of the conflict.
Oh ok I read somewhere they wanted to restart it soon. In that case it's also a bad outcome of this dam bust indeed :(
