Strikes on substations that power nuclear power plants, in particular, Khmelnytskyi and Rivne, forced a reduction in generation. Power outage schedules are likely to remain in effect until the end of the heating season.
Serhiy Nahornyak, a member of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Energy, said this during a telethon, as reported by UNN.

Due to shelling of substations that transmit electricity from nuclear power plants, Ukrenergo dispatchers order nuclear power plants to reduce capacity. This is one of the algorithms of actions during attacks on transmission lines and substations to minimize risks to the system.
He also calls for energy saving: "We must consume gas, heat, and electricity sparingly."
Recall
After Russian attacks on infrastructure, Ukraine continues to recover. Overall, 67% of housing and 84% of social facilities in Ukraine have heating, the situation in the energy system is difficult, and schedules are in effect in 13 regions and Kyiv.
Due to damage from Russian strikes, Ukrenergo announced the need to cut 70% of electricity in Kyiv in the afternoon of November 9. From 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM, outages are applied simultaneously to 4 queues in the capital.
