Generation and consumption

Yesterday, to cover the needs of consumers, Ukraine additionally attracted emergency assistance from the power systems of Poland, Romania and Slovakia. Emergency assistance was also provided at night.

Hourly outage schedules apply from 0:00 to 24:00. If the situation changes, the information will be updated.

Consequences of shelling

New shelling caused power outages in Dnipropetrovs'k, Donetsk, Kharkiv, and Mykolaiv regions.

At the same time, the power company was able to supply power to 19.5 thousand subscribers who lost power due to hostilities and technological disruptions.

Networks status

In Kyiv, due to a technological failure, residential buildings and institutions in the central district lost power. All of them have been restored.

In the southern region, equipment at a high-voltage substation was disconnected. This caused power outages in Odesa and Mykolaiv regions. A green generation facility also reduced its output. The reason was a technological failure caused by a grass fire near the equipment. Within an hour, all consumers were supplied with electricity.

Consequences of bad weather

Due to bad weather (thunderstorms), 9,824 subscribers in 17 settlements in Zakarpattia Oblast were cut off from electricity.

Situation at ZNPP
