Kyiv • UNN
Due to missile and drone attacks on Ukraine's energy system, stabilization outages are being introduced. Find out where to find current schedules and how to correctly calculate the time of power absence at your address.
Due to constant missile and drone attacks on the Ukrainian energy system, stabilization blackouts are being introduced, and to find out when exactly your address will have electricity, you should follow the established schedules for these blackouts. Where you can see the current schedules and how to correctly calculate the time of absence of light in your home - we tell in the UNN material.
Where to see the blackout schedule
As explained by the Ministry of Energy, during planned power outages, queues are introduced. To balance the system, users are disconnected in turn. At the same time, even residents of the same multi-story building, but different entrances, may belong to different queues.
It is important to understand that the absence of electricity can be emergency and planned. The first is introduced in emergency situations, and it is impossible to predict how long it will last. The second is warned about by energy workers in advance and a schedule is drawn up for household users.
In order to find out about planned or emergency power outages, Ukrainians can familiarize themselves with the relevant schedules. But even now, not everyone knows where to find such schedules.
Before looking for a power outage schedule in a particular location, a person needs to understand which region (oblast) they belong to.
In general, current blackout schedules can be found:
- on the official websites of local oblenergos;
- on the official websites of DTEK (DTEK Kyiv Electric Networks, DTEK Kyiv Regional Electric Networks, DTEK Dnipro Electric Networks, DTEK Odesa Electric Networks, DTEK Donetsk Electric Networks).
In addition, information about planned and emergency blackouts may be published:
- on the official pages of oblenergos and DTEK on social networks (including Facebook);
- on the official channels of oblenergos and DTEK on the network (most often - in Viber or Telegram).
Another option is to check information about blackouts:
- in relevant chatbots (in Viber or Telegram);
- in the personal account of the electricity consumer.
How to view DTEK schedules
To view the schedule on the DTEK website, you should go to the section "No electricity?" and enter your address. If blackouts are introduced, you will see two types of schedules there:
- for the day - contains the most accurate information about the hours when there will be light and when blackouts are possible;
- forecast for the week - shows approximate periods of blackouts so that the user can plan affairs in advance.
In addition, the schedule can be viewed from a smartphone in Viber or Telegram chatbots. To do this:
- find the DTEK Kyiv Electric Networks bot, click "Start";
- register by phone number and personal account number - this is only required once;
- in the menu, select "Blackout schedule".
The chatbot will warn you in advance during stabilization blackouts about the disconnection and return of light at your address.
