The power system has been experiencing a shortage of electricity for almost the entire day. The shortage is caused by damage caused by Russian missile and drone strikes on Ukrainian power plants, Ukrenergo reports.

In the morning, the Dispatch Centre engages emergency assistance from the power systems of European countries.

From 18:00 to 22:00, business and industry may be subject to power curtailment schedules. These measures will not affect critical infrastructure and defence companies.

Consumption restrictions for industrial consumers in Kryvyy Rih continue to be in effect around the clock.

Since the morning, consumption restrictions have been in place for household consumers in Kharkiv Region. About 203,000 consumers are without power.

Citizens are asked to consume electricity sparingly, and industry is asked to use electricity imports as much as possible and use alternative power sources if available.
