Reportedly, the situation in the energy sector remains difficult, with a significant shortage of generating capacity in the system due to massive hostile attacks.
"As of today, it is planned that the schedules of hourly outages will be in effect from 0:00 to 24:00," the ministry said.
Shelling
In Sumy region, a UAV attacked a power facility, which resulted in the de-energization of several substations and their connected consumers in Sumy and Chernihiv regions. Consumers were partially supplied with power via a backup scheme.
In Chernihiv region, as a result of the shelling of an overhead line, consumers in 6 settlements lost power at the same time.
