The schedule of power outages was shortened due to an increase in solar energy production, which avoided outages from 10:00 to 15:00 on June 18.
On Tuesday, June 18, stabilization blackouts will be in effect all day due to a power shortage, DTEK said.
A thunderstorm with heavy rain and winds of up to 25 m/s knocked out 36 power lines and 611 transformer substations in Kyiv region, leading to emergency power outages.
DTEK Kyiv electric networks explained that blackouts occur in accordance with approved schedules, while the gray zone indicates planned blackouts, and the light gray zone indicates additional blackouts necessary to balance the power system, while the schedules are updated, as well as possible emergency blackouts.
Due to thunderstorms in the Kiev region, emergency power outages occurred, which affected 254 transformer substations and 15 high-voltage overhead power lines.
According to DTEK, on June 9, restrictions on the supply of electricity were lifted throughout the day in Ukraine, which will allow the country to spend the day without planned blackouts.
Tomorrow, June 9, the schedules of stabilization shutdowns in the Kiev, Donetsk, Odessa and Dnipropetrovsk regions will be valid only from 20:00 to 22:00.
Stabilization shutdowns in Ukraine will begin today at 18:00 instead of 16:00 due to the situation in the energy system and will last until 24:00, according to DTEK and Ukrenergo.
Emergency blackouts were introduced in the Odessa region. Please note that during emergency outages, schedules that can be predicted in advance do not apply.
According to Yasno CEO Serhiy Kovalenko, power outages in Kiev may last longer due to the large number of critical infrastructure.
Tomorrow, an energy shortage is forecast in the energy system throughout the day. Therefore, power outages can be applied throughout the day.
Emergency power outages were introduced in many regions of Ukraine.
Ukraine needs several years to fully restore its generating capacity, so Ukrainians should be prepared for long-term power supply restrictions due to Russia's constant strikes on energy infrastructure.
In the Kiev region, due to bad weather, more than 8. 3 thousand families were left without electricity, while most blackouts were recorded in Buchansky, Obukhov and Vyshgorod districts.
On June 2, planned power outages will occur in Kiev and some other regions due to power supply restrictions, while the limits allocated to Kiev will be enough only for 76% of the needs during the shutdown hours.
On June 2, Ukrenergo imposed restrictions on electricity consumption for households and industrial enterprises across Ukraine in connection with the recent Russian missile strikes on the Ukrainian energy infrastructure, with possible hourly power outages if the established limits are exceeded.
Russian troops intensified their attacks in the Seversky and Kurakhovsky directions, while maintaining pressure on the Pokrovsky direction, while Ukrainian troops successfully repelled numerous assault operations and inflicted losses on the invaders.
Two DTEK thermal power plants were seriously damaged as a result of Russian shelling, which led to serious destruction of equipment, but partial restoration is possible after assessing the scale of damage.
At night, russia attacked energy facilities in 5 regions, which may cause potential changes in the schedules of power outages in Ukraine.
During an enemy attack on the night of June 1, six cruise missiles hit three critical infrastructure facilities in the Lviv region, which led to destruction, but there were no casualties.
At night, russia attacked two DTEK thermal power plants, damaging equipment. Power engineers are working to eliminate the consequences.
A Russian missile strike on Kiev destroyed a transformer substation and damaged power grids in the Goloseevsky district, leaving several houses and premises without electricity.
On May 27, the electricity limits set by Ukrenergo will be enough for an average of 81% of Kyiv's needs, with blackout schedules in effect from 06:00 to 24:00.
Ukrenergo has changed the schedule of power outages for May 25 in several regions, including Kyiv, Odesa, Donetsk and Dnipropetrovs'k: outages are scheduled from 20:00 to 24:00, while no outages are planned during the day.
Power engineers have adjusted the schedule of power outages in Kiev and four other regions of Ukraine, preliminary schedules will be valid from 19:00 to midnight.
Due to a local accident, some houses in the Obolonsky District of Kiev were left without electricity, but power engineers predict to restore it before 10:00.
The recent blackouts were caused by a sharp cold snap and damage to many maneuverable generating facilities as a result of missile and drone attacks by Russia, but some warming is expected in the next few days, which could reduce the shortage of generating capacity and the number of curtailment schedules.
DTEK has warned consumers in several regions that stabilization blackouts will be applied from 19:00, but there should be no power outages until then.
Due to a significant deficit in Ukraine's power grid, stabilization outage schedules will be applied again starting at 4 p. m. on the instructions of Ukrenergo, DTEK reports.
Tomorrow, stabilization outages are possible in Kyiv, Kyiv, Odesa, Dnipro and Donetsk regions from 00:00 to 09:00 and from 16:00 to 00:00.
