Emergency power outages are in effect in five regions of Ukraine, including hourly blackouts in Kharkiv region, despite no shortage in the country's unified energy system.

There is no talk of introducing blackout schedules for the whole of Ukraine, but emergency power outages were introduced in several regions due to network restrictions caused by hostile attacks on the power transmission system.

Due to grid restrictions, emergency power outages were introduced in 6 regions of Ukraine yesterday, and they are likely to continue today, with more than 550,000 consumers affected in Kharkiv region alone, although no power shortages are expected.

Since the beginning of the year, coal production at state-owned mines has increased by more than 24%, exceeding pre-war levels, despite Russian shelling and staff shortages.

Ukrainian power engineers restored electricity to 715,000 households after Russian shelling in various regions, including Odesa, Dnipro, Donetsk and Kyiv.

The Russian army attacked a high-voltage substation in Zaporizhzhya region, damaging equipment. There is no shortage of electricity in Ukraine and no emergency blackouts are in place.

The power unit of Khmelnytska NPP was connected to the grid after repairs and is currently generating 300 MWh, and plans to increase electricity production after the restrictions are lifted.

An attack by an enemy drone at night disconnected equipment at one of the substations in Odesa Oblast, but all consumers were connected and there is no shortage of electricity in the grid.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs has deployed a task force to respond to the challenges posed by possible power outages caused by Russia's massive attacks on Ukrainian power plants.

Russia's massive attack on March 22 caused serious damage to Ukraine's energy infrastructure, requiring urgent repairs and an increase in generating capacity, especially maneuvering capacity for Kharkiv and Odesa, as well as strengthening air defense and physical protection of facilities.

Ukraine and Poland signed a memorandum of cooperation in the energy sector, including the development of joint programs and projects to restore energy infrastructure damaged by the war, climate-neutral technologies, distributed generation, gas and oil transportation, energy security through market integration and the development of interstate crossings.

There was an enemy missile attack on a gas infrastructure facility in western Ukraine, power supply was limited in two regions due to Russian attacks, and 212 settlements in five regions were cut off due to bad weather.

Ukraine's Energy Minister Herman Galushchenko said that the ministry is not currently considering raising electricity tariffs for households, despite the damage caused by recent Russian attacks on the energy sector.

As a result of Russian shelling, a mine in Donetsk region was cut off from electricity, where 12 people were trapped, and power supply was limited in Odesa, Kharkiv, Dnipro and Khmelnytsky regions.

Ukraine and Sweden have agreed to deepen cooperation in the nuclear field to strengthen energy security in Europe, including the development of Western-made nuclear fuel to replace Russian supplies and the use of Ukraine's experience in maintaining stable nuclear power operations in wartime.

The latest massive Russian attack on March 22 caused serious damage to Ukraine's energy sector, with the Energy Minister estimating the losses at billions of hryvnias. According to him, "we will continue to demand all these amounts from the aggressor in the relevant lawsuits.

After a massive Russian attack on critical infrastructure, almost 80% of Kharkiv has been powered up, but the power situation remains difficult, with outage schedules and about 215,800 customers still without electricity.

Ukraine's energy system is operating in a balanced manner, with no electricity shortages, but blackouts in some regions are caused by damage to the power grid as a result of recent Russian attacks on energy facilities.

Explosions and a fire occurred at the oil depot seized by the russian occupiers near the village of Hvardiyske in the occupied Crimea.

Schedules of emergency power outages due to кussian shelling have been introduced in Kharkiv region, while critical infrastructure facilities have been powered.
