The Ministry of Energy reported that emergency restoration work is ongoing at Ukrenergo’s high-voltage substations and at facilities operated by distribution system operators. Energy workers are working around the clock to restore the damaged equipment as quickly as possible. The work is being complicated by continuous air raid alerts.
Emergency outages
"Due to equipment damage and reduced voltage in the high-voltage network in the city of Kyiv and the Kharkiv, Poltava, and Sumy regions, emergency outages are being imposed. A return to the forecast schedules will take place after the situation in the energy system stabilizes," the Ministry of Energy stated.

As noted by the Ministry of Energy, hourly electricity outage schedules are in effect in most regions of Ukraine, while capacity restriction schedules apply to industry. Due to the ongoing attacks, the electricity supply situation may change rapidly throughout the day, sometimes even several times an hour.
According to Ukrenergo, due to damage to energy equipment, hourly outage schedules of 2 to 4 groups are in effect for all categories of consumers in some regions until the end of the day.
