Nevertheless, in the evening of March 30, emergency blackout schedules were applied in some regions of the country at the command of the dispatcher of the National Electricity Complex Ukrenergo. This concerned Donetsk, Dnipropetrovs'k, Sumy, and Poltava regions due to network restrictions on trunk lines designed to prevent overloading.
