As a result of enemy attacks, consumers in Dnipropetrovsk, Donetsk, Sumy, and Kherson regions were left without power. In Donetsk region, 12 energy workers were injured, and there are also power outages due to bad weather in Sumy region.
Due to enemy attacks, there are power outages in four regions of Ukraine, and in one region due to bad weather, 12 energy workers were injured, and no blackout schedules are expected, the Ministry of Energy reported on Tuesday, writes UNN.
Enemy attacks
"As a result of hostilities and shelling of energy facilities, some consumers in the Dnipropetrovsk, Donetsk, Sumy, and Kherson regions are temporarily without electricity," the Ministry of Energy reported.
As noted, energy workers are working to restore power to Ukrainian homes as quickly as possible, with restoration work ongoing around the clock.
"In the Donetsk region, while carrying out emergency restoration work, a repair crew came under Russian shelling. As a result of the attack, 12 workers were injured. The victims were taken to a hospital, where they are receiving all necessary medical care," the statement said.
Bad weather
"Due to bad weather, 20 settlements in the Sumy region remain without electricity," the Ministry of Energy noted.
Repair crews are working on restoration.
Will there be schedules
"No restrictions are forecast for today," the statement said.
However, active energy consumption today, it is noted, should be shifted to daytime hours - from 10:00 to 16:00.
According to Ukrenergo, electricity consumption corresponds to seasonal indicators. Today, July 7, as of 09:30, it was at the same level as the previous day – Monday. Yesterday, July 6, the daily maximum consumption was recorded in the evening. It was 12.3% lower than the maximum of the previous working day – Friday, July 3. The reason for the changes is a significant drop in air temperature in all regions of Ukraine, which reduces the need for widespread use of air conditioners.
