Parts of three regions are without power due to enemy attacks, with the most difficult situation in the Sumy region, where a significant number of consumers are de-energized; due to bad weather, over 100 settlements in 9 regions remain without electricity; no blackout schedules are expected, the Ministry of Energy reported on Tuesday, UNN writes.
Enemy attacks
As a result of shelling of energy infrastructure facilities, some consumers in the Zaporizhzhia and Kharkiv regions temporarily remain without power supply. The most difficult situation currently is in the Sumy region, where the largest number of consumers are de-energized due to damage to energy facilities
As Ukrenergo clarified, the situation is most difficult in the Sumy region "as a result of a morning drone attack."
As indicated, due to the ongoing security threat, power engineers are temporarily unable to begin restoration work; however, as soon as the situation stabilizes, they will immediately proceed to eliminate the consequences and restore power supply. Where the security situation allows, power engineers are working in an intensified mode to return power supply to all subscribers as quickly as possible. Restoration work continues around the clock, the ministry noted.
Bad weather
"Due to bad weather, over 100 settlements in the Dnipropetrovsk, Kyiv, Odesa, Poltava, Sumy, Kharkiv, Kherson, Khmelnytskyi, and Chernihiv regions remain without power supply," the report says.
Repair crews are working on restoration.
Schedules and consumption
"No restrictions are predicted to be applied today," the Ministry of Energy indicated.
Ukrainians were urged, if possible, to use electricity sparingly during the evening hours - from 18:00 to 22:00. This helps to reduce the load on the system.
