History
An urban-type settlement was founded on 6 April 1973.[citation needed]
In January 1989 the population was 10 511 people.[3]
City since July 1993.[4]
Until 18 July 2020, Novodnistrovsk was designated as a city of oblast significance and did not belong to any raion. As part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Chernivtsi Oblast to three, the city was merged into Dnistrovskyi Raion.[5][6]
Novodnistrovsk hosts the Novodnistrovsk Hydroelectric Power Plant, which between 7 and 12 March 2026 were targeted by a series of Russian aerial attacks. The attacks caused contamination of Dniester which supplies majority of drinking water to Moldova downstream, which resulted in a diplomatic scandal between Moldova and Russia.[7]
