Power outages have occurred in five regions due to Russian strikes, situation is most severe in Odesa region, - Ministry of Energy
As a result of hostilities and shelling of energy facilities, some consumers in the Zaporizhzhia, Kherson, Kharkiv, Sumy, and Chernihiv regions are temporarily without power.
This was reported by Censor.NET, citing the Ministry of Energy’s press centre.
Where is the situation most challenging?
As noted, restoration work is ongoing wherever safety conditions permit. Power utility workers are doing everything possible to restore power to all consumers as quickly as possible.
The situation in the Odesa region remains the most challenging. Restoration work is ongoing there. Following a massive attack on the region, energy workers have already managed to restore power to nearly all consumers. However, to prevent accidents caused by equipment overload, grid restrictions must be implemented. These outages will be lifted once restoration work is fully completed.
No scheduled outages are expected
No restrictions are expected today. Please check the official websites of your distribution system operators for any changes to power supply.
"Today, it is advisable to shift active electricity consumption to daytime hours—from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. We ask consumers to use electricity sparingly whenever possible," the Ministry of Energy emphasizes.
