The electricity supply situation in Kyiv and the Kyiv region has been stabilised.
This was reported by Censor.NET with reference to the press centre of the Ministry of Energy.
As noted, emergency power cuts continue in the left-bank districts of the Kyiv region, in particular Boryspil and Brovary. The rest of the districts are gradually returning to their power cut schedules.
"We thank our heroes, the energy workers, who are bringing light and heat back to Ukrainian homes! We thank consumers for their patience and understanding of the complexity of the situation! We urge everyone to remain calm and follow the official information," the Ministry of Energy added.
Update from Ukrenergo
According to Ukrenergo, energy specialists managed to quickly eliminate the cause of the forced emergency blackouts in several regions.
"Consumers in Kyiv, the Kyiv, Zhytomyr, and Poltava regions are gradually returning to hourly power cuts according to schedules. On the left bank of the Kyiv region and in some areas of Kyiv, emergency power cuts will continue to be applied.
