Energy system on the brink: additional support points being deployed in Kyiv and region due to critical power deficit – Ministry of Energy
Kyiv • UNN
The Ministry of Energy reported on the catastrophic state of the capital region's power grid after the night attack. Kyiv residents receive electricity for only 1.5-2 hours a day, so additional invincibility points are being deployed.
A meeting of the Emergency Response Headquarters was held at the Ministry of Energy, dedicated to the catastrophic state of the energy grid in the capital region. This is reported by UNN.
Details
The night attack created a significant electricity deficit, which currently cannot be covered by available resources. In Kyiv, the situation with energy supply is one of the most difficult: residents receive electricity only for short periods – from one and a half to two hours a day. Energy workers are working around the clock, trying to balance the system and prevent its complete collapse.
Due to the critical state of the grids, the coming days will be difficult for residents of the capital and Kyiv region. The Ministry of Energy warns that a quick restoration of a stable schedule is currently impossible due to the scale of damage to the infrastructure that provides power output from nuclear power plants.
Deployment of invincibility points
To support citizens, the city authorities have begun deploying additional invincibility points in each district of Kyiv. These facilities are designed to provide people with heat, communication, and the ability to charge devices during long outages. Energy workers continue restoration work on all damaged high-voltage facilities, but the process is complicated by the significant amount of destruction.
The authorities urge citizens to be understanding and to save as much as possible during the rare hours when electricity appears in their homes. Currently, all efforts are aimed at restoring the minimum necessary level of heat and water supply to consumers as soon as possible.
