"As a result of hostilities and shelling of energy facilities, some consumers in the Dnipropetrovsk, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kharkiv regions temporarily remain without electricity supply," the Ministry of Energy reported.
Power engineers are working in an intensified mode to restore electricity supply to all subscribers as quickly as possible. Restoration work continues around the clock.
"The application of restrictions is not predicted today," the Ministry of Energy indicated.
According to Ukrenergo, electricity consumption is showing a downward trend amid clear weather in many regions of Ukraine, which favors the operation of solar power plants, helping the power system.
However, consumers are asked, if possible, to use electricity sparingly throughout the day. And not to turn on powerful appliances simultaneously from 18:00 to 22:00, during the evening peak of consumption.
