The Deputy Minister of Energy announced plans to switch to planned schedules of power cuts as much as possible. The goal is to make blackouts more predictable for consumers, despite the constant shelling of the power grid.

In order to stabilize the work, it is planned to maximize the transition to the planned schedules of electricity restrictions, so that outage plans and forecast outages are clear to household consumers. This was stated by Deputy Energy Minister Mykola Kolisnyk during a telethon, UNN reports.

"Today, the biggest factor affecting the power system is the shelling, the constant shelling of the enemy, whose goal is to achieve a complete blackout. (...) Schedules for limiting electricity consumption continue to operate across the country. In those moments when they are not enough to stabilize the situation, emergency blackouts are applied. However, in order to stabilize the operation, we plan to switch to the planned schedules of electricity restrictions as much as possible, so that outage plans and forecasted outages are clear to household consumers," Kolisnyk said.
