Electricity supply schedules

"We expect to gradually transition from emergency to hourly blackouts in the coming days. Our goal is to reach the projected schedules of up to 3-4 rounds. We are also forming additional reserve teams to strengthen our efforts," Shmyhal wrote .

Inspection of cogeneration plants 

The minister also said that a full verification of cogeneration plants had been carried out in Kyiv and the region.

"We have clearly determined their total number and technical performance. Currently, only a third of the commissioned capacities are actually supplying energy to the grid. We are working with local authorities on this issue. All plants must be operational," Shmyhal added.
