Ministry of Energy of Ukraine

Due to enemy attacks in the Khmelnitsky region, more than 10 thousand subscribers were left without electricity. There are no restrictions on the supply of electricity to consumers today.

The minister of energy of Ukraine discussed with the Turkish ambassador the difficult situation in the Ukrainian energy system caused by russian attacks, and cooperation to increase the capacity to generate electricity, including through mobile power plants and distributed generation, to survive the next winter.

The enemy attacked a power facility in Rivne region. No restrictions on consumers are expected today.

The situation in the power system remains stable but challenging: power engineers are working to repair facilities damaged by Russian attacks and install new small distributed generation capacities to maintain stable operation during peak hours.

The Ministry of Energy proposes to introduce a differentiated approach to raising electricity tariffs, but this requires government approval.

Ukraine imposed power supply restrictions from 6 a. m. to midnight, reconnected a nuclear unit to the grid after repairs, restored gas supply to 1,290 consumers in Vinnytsia region after an enemy attack, and prepared more nuclear units for repairs to ensure stable operation during the heating season.

An explosive device was found at a power company's substation in Dnipropetrovs'k region, which required the intervention of police and explosives experts to defuse.

Today, Ukraine may experience power outages during evening peak hours due to the application of hourly outage schedules from 20:00 to 22:00, the Ministry of Energy reports.

The energy sector of Kharkiv region is almost completely destroyed due to constant shelling, but there are programs to provide the region with electricity and heat.

Ukraine is facing constant electricity shortages due to extensive damage to its energy infrastructure as a result of Russian attacks, necessitating hourly blackout schedules across the country from 00:00 to 24:00 and emergency electricity imports from neighboring countries.

The schedules of hourly power outages in Ukraine are affected by weather conditions, consumption volumes and levels, and the ability to distribute electricity due to the ongoing risk and shelling of energy infrastructure, with outages on weekends depending on weather conditions.

Ukraine imposed power supply restrictions on consumers while receiving emergency aid from the EU, and at a mine in Donetsk region, more than 160 workers remained underground due to shelling that stopped ventilation equipment.

The State Labor Service of Ukraine will be deprived of some of its non-essential functions as part of deregulation: the Parliament has supported a draft law on the redistribution of certain functions to other central executive bodies.

54 IAEA delegations called for holding Russia accountable for creating threats to nuclear security by seizing and militarizing the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant in Ukraine.

Today, on May 22, Ukrenergo lifted restrictions on electricity consumption throughout Ukraine from 07:00 to 20:00. Electricity supply to 95% of consumers affected by the nighttime Russian attack in the East has been restored.

Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal instructed the Ministry of energy and Ukrenergo to develop a draft government decree on fair schedules for power outages to consumers, including a list of critical facilities for priority electricity supply and distribution of remaining power among other consumers.

The Ukrainian government has instructed the Ministry of energy and Ukrenergo to develop a draft resolution setting fair electricity consumption schedules for all consumers and prioritizing electricity supply to critical infrastructure facilities.

The existing electricity tariff will be valid until the end of the month. The new tariffs are calculated taking into account the solvency of the population and preparations for the heating season.

Deputy Energy Minister Mykola Kolisnyk urges businesses to install backup generation and solar panels for energy self-sufficiency, which is economically viable and will help prepare for the next heating season.

Ukraine has developed a clear plan to get through the next heating season without outages, following the same approach as last year by increasing generating capacity and creating decentralized medium and small generation facilities across the country.

Due to the electricity shortage caused by the Russian attacks, restrictions may be imposed on industrial and residential consumers in all regions from 18:00 to midnight today.

The Ministry of Energy of Ukraine has approved a Roadmap for the development of smart grids to introduce automation and digital solutions at all levels of the power system to make it more balanced, secure and resilient to military risks.

On May 20, from 18:00 to 24:00, hourly power cuts will be introduced for industrial and residential consumers across Ukraine, except for critical infrastructure facilities, due to damage caused by shelling and the need to cover the electricity shortage through imports.

A team of power engineers in Donetsk Oblast came under fire from an enemy Lancet drone while carrying out repairs, but there were no casualties.

Ukraine is covering its electricity needs through domestic generation, imports and emergency aid from Romania, Slovakia and Poland, and is providing emergency aid to Poland despite damage to infrastructure caused by shelling, calling for careful and responsible energy consumption to ensure stability in the power system.

At night and in the morning, Ukraine received emergency electricity supplies from Romania, Slovakia, and Poland due to Russian attacks on energy infrastructure.

There is a significant deficit in the Ukrainian energy system, which necessitates hourly blackouts from 19:00 to 24:00 and imports that reach the technically permitted maximum.

Ukraine has faced power outages due to electricity shortages, with restrictions on industry scheduled for today from 4 p. m., and has asked the EU for emergency assistance.

On May 16, scheduled hourly power outages will be introduced throughout Ukraine for residential and industrial consumers to ensure the safe operation of the power grid.

Ukraine has attracted emergency electricity supplies from Poland, Romania and Slovakia due to a shortage of capacity after Russian shelling. Restrictions on electricity consumption for industry will be applied throughout the day to avoid blackouts.
