Russian Federation is launching massive attacks on power generation facilities and substations; nuclear power plants have been forced to reduce output, - Ministry of Energy
The enemy continues to attack energy infrastructure—power generation facilities, where electricity is produced, and substations, through which it is transmitted to consumers. Attacks on the energy sector continue unabated.
This was reported by Censor.NET, citing the press office of the Ministry of Energy.
Nuclear power plants have reduced their generating capacity
As noted, due to large-scale and systematic Russian attacks on energy infrastructure, nuclear power plants have been forced to reduce their generation capacity. A return to normal levels will occur gradually, as soon as energy workers restore the power grids damaged by the shelling.
"As of this morning, Russian attacks have left some consumers without power in the Vinnytsia, Zhytomyr, Zaporizhzhia, Kirovohrad, Kharkiv, and Kherson regions. Emergency repair work is continuing in all regions where the security situation allows," the statement said.
Where is the situation the worst?
According to the Ministry of Energy, the situation is most critical in the Kyiv region. In Kyiv and the Kyiv region, distribution system operators are implementing grid restrictions.
"We have suffered serious damage to power equipment. Repair crews are working around the clock to restore a stable power supply to the region," the statement said.
In addition, emergency power outages are currently in effect in the Kharkiv region. The reason is equipment damage resulting from previous attacks and a drop in voltage in the high-voltage grid. Normal service will resume once the situation in the power grid has stabilized.
In most regions of Ukraine, schedules for hourly power outages are currently in effect for all categories of consumers, as well as power restriction schedules for industry.
"The situation may change throughout the day." "Stay tuned for announcements from distribution system operators in your regions. They publish up-to-date information about power outage schedules and possible changes on their official websites," the Ministry of Energy emphasizes.
