In connection with the Russian attacks on Ukrainian power plants, which caused significant losses and a shortage of electricity, Ukrenergo warns of a possible return to the planned restrictions on electricity consumption for domestic consumers.
According to Ukrenergo, there are no plans for stabilization power outages in Ukraine on May 31, but if the situation in the energy system changes, measures will be announced to limit consumption.
Thanks to solar generation and the decommissioning of two NPP power units, planned shutdowns of consumers were not applied for several days, but the situation may change if a significant shortage is recorded in the system again.
Today, it is planned to import electricity from 5 countries (Romania, Slovakia, Poland, Hungary and Moldova). Due to the increase in production at nuclear power plants after the planned repair of two units, the application of electricity consumption limits is not predicted.
According to the National Energy Company Ukrenergo, no power outages are planned for May 30 in Ukraine, but the situation may change, and if necessary, measures to limit consumption may be announced.
In Odesa region, more than 2,000 consumers lost power due to bad weather, and a nighttime drone attack caused a 2-hour power outage in Rivne region.
According to Ukrenergo, no power outages are expected in Ukraine on May 29.
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.
As of today, Ukraine does not expect any restrictions on electricity consumption, and imports are planned from 5 countries - Romania, Slovakia, Poland, Hungary, and Moldova.
Electricity may not be cut off in Kyiv and Dnipropetrovs'k region tomorrow due to the repair of one of the nuclear power units, said the CEO of YASNO.
According to Ukrenergo, no power outages are expected in Ukraine on May 28, but emergency measures may be announced if the situation in the power system changes.
On May 27, the electricity limits set by Ukrenergo will be enough for an average of 81% of Kyiv's needs, with blackout schedules in effect from 06:00 to 24:00.
Tomorrow, from 6 a. m. to midnight, hourly power outage schedules will be in effect for industrial and residential consumers across Ukraine.
According to Ukrenergo, there are no plans to limit electricity consumption for residential and industrial consumers throughout the day tomorrow.
Ukrenergo has changed the schedule of power outages for May 25 in several regions, including Kyiv, Odesa, Donetsk and Dnipropetrovs'k: outages are scheduled from 20:00 to 24:00, while no outages are planned during the day.
On Saturday, May 25, from 20:00 to 22:00, hourly power outage schedules will be in effect for industrial and residential consumers across Ukraine due to the effects of hostile missile attacks on Ukrainian power plants, which have limited electricity production.
The Cabinet of Ministers has approved a draft law to improve the situation in the electricity market and settle debts in the balancing market by creating special accounts for different entities to ensure an acceptable level of payments, reduce debts to Ukrenergo and increase the stability of the power system.
National energy company Ukrenergo has reportedly changed the time of its blackout schedules for today - from 11 a. m. to 2 p.m. without outages.
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.
Due to rainy weather and dense clouds that limit solar generation, hourly power outage schedules will be in effect for industrial and residential consumers across Ukraine on May 24 from 00:00 to 24:00.
Due to the forecasted dense cloud cover, which reduces solar energy production, hourly power outage schedules will be in effect for industrial and residential consumers across Ukraine from 00:00 to 24:00 on May 23.
Due to increased cloud cover, which hinders the production of solar energy, planned hourly power outages in Ukraine will begin at 19:00 instead of 20: 00 on May 22, while critical infrastructure will remain unaffected.
Power engineers have adjusted the schedule of power outages in Kiev and four other regions of Ukraine, preliminary schedules will be valid from 19:00 to midnight.
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.
Ukrainians should prepare for power outage schedules not only in summer, but also in winter due to increased electricity consumption in the cold season, Ukrenergo CEO Volodymyr Kudritsky has warned.
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.
Ukraine is facing a shortage of electricity due to Russian shelling, which leads to planned power outages for citizens and businesses, despite the import of electricity from Europe.
Tomorrow, May 22, hourly schedules for disconnecting industrial and domestic consumers due to the consequences of Russian missile strikes on Ukrainian power plants will apply throughout Ukraine from 00:00 to 07:00 and from 18:00 to 24:00.
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.
From 11:00 to 17:00, consumption restrictions were lifted in all regions of Ukraine as solar power plants increased production and planned imports from 5 countries, and from 17:00 to midnight, emergency power outage schedules will be in effect in all regions.
