As a result of hostile attacks on energy facilities, as of this morning there are power outages in Vinnytsia, Dnipropetrovsk, Donetsk, Zhytomyr, Zaporizhzhia, Kyiv, Odesa, Poltava, Rivne, Kharkiv, Khmelnytskyi and Chernihiv regions. Due to significant damage, the situation remains most difficult in Dnipropetrovsk and Kyiv regions, Ukrenergo reports.
Energy workers are working around the clock to restore damaged equipment in order to return electricity to Ukrainians’ homes as quickly as possible. Emergency repair work is being carried out everywhere the security situation allows.
Due to damage to energy equipment, restrictions are being enforced in parts of the regions until the end of the day:
- for industry — capacity limitation schedules;
- for all categories of consumers — hourly outage schedules (from 1.5 to 4 groups).
Due to the difficult situation in the power system, emergency outages are being applied this morning in Sumy, Poltava and Kharkiv regions. Previously published schedules in these areas are currently not in effect. Emergency outages will be cancelled as soon as the condition of the power system allows.
Up-to-date outage schedules can be checked on the official pages of the relevant distribution system operator.
