Earlier, UNN wrote that as a result of enemy attacks on energy facilities, consumers in several regions were de-energized, the most difficult situation being in Chernihiv and Sumy regions. Electricity consumption is increasing, so do not turn on several powerful electrical appliances simultaneously from 10:00 to 22:00.

Later, in the Chernihiv region, additional power outages were introduced, not provided for by the schedules, due to the difficult situation in the energy system and network overload. This led to a reduction in the time with light for all subscribers and the disconnection of consumers who were not in the emergency power outage schedule.
