Due to damaged power lines, power outage schedules continue to be in effect in Kharkiv region and Kryvyi Rih, the Energy Ministry reports.

Due to damage to power lines, blackout schedules are still in effect in Kharkiv region and Kryvyi Rih. This was stated by the Ministry of Energy, UNN reports.

GENERATION, TRANSMISSION, CONSUMPTION

Due to network constraints on the transmission system operator's lines, outage schedules were applied yesterday in Kharkiv region and in Kryvyi Rih. The restrictions are still in effect today.

Yesterday, despite the fact that there could have been restrictions on the power grid in the evening, they were not applied to industry.

Consumers' needs were covered by own generation, imports, and emergency aid (from Poland, Slovakia, and Romania). The volume of emergency aid amounted to less than 2% of daily consumption.

There are no plans to call for emergency assistance for the current day. No restrictions are planned for household and industrial consumers (except for Kharkiv region and Kryvyi Rih)

- the Ministry of Energy said. 

CONSEQUENCES OF SHELLING

Yesterday, a fire broke out at a substation in Dnipropetrovs'k region as a result of a hostile drone attack, damaging equipment and cutting off power to household consumers. The fire was extinguished by the State Emergency Service and all customers were reconnected within a few hours.

Last night, an overhead line was damaged in Donetsk Oblast during a shelling, and one of the mines lost power. At the time, 131 people were underground and all were brought to the surface. Within a few hours, the company was powered up.

NETWORK STATUS

Yesterday afternoon, the overhead line to which consumers in Kharkiv and Poltava oblasts are connected was disconnected due to bad weather. Residential customers were cut off from power supply - all of them have been reconnected. 

This morning, a high-voltage overhead line was briefly disconnected in Mykolaiv region for technological reasons. It has been put back online.
