On Sunday, July 14, power outage schedules in Ukraine will be in effect for 24 hours.
Such measures will be taken due to abnormal heat in Europe with a significant deficit in the Ukrainian energy system after massive Russian strikes and above the forecast level of consumption.
Power outage schedules in Ukraine July 14
So, from 07:00 to 15:00 July 14 oblenergos will use two stages of shutdowns.
Now are watching
At the remaining hours there will be restrictions for three queues of outages out of six (that is, for half of the consumers in each region).
Recall that previously Ukrenergo planned to lift restrictions for each region on one day during July 9-24 in order to measure the actual level of consumption.
However, due to a significant power shortage in the energy system and increased consumption due to the heat, blackout schedules in Ukraine will remain in effect without exception.
Planned blackouts – how long will they last
According to the head of the board of NEC Ukrenergo Vladimir Kudrytsky, planned power outages can be carried out throughout the summer, autumn and all of next winter.
– “As we announced, hourly shutdown schedules will be applied for industry and the population due to the fact that the energy system does not have enough power to cover the evening peak of consumption,” Kudritsky said.
Where to see scheduled power outages
Ukrenergo has already carried out work in its branches to designate consumption limits for each region.
You can get information about the schedules of hourly power outages in a certain region of Ukraine in the consumer’s account, on the official websites of oblenergos, as well as on pages on social networks.
Ukrenergo claims that the volume of hourly power outages is distributed evenly between the regions of Ukraine.
Recall that after the Russian army resumed targeted attacks on Ukrainian energy facilities in the spring of 2024, the most destruction was caused by shelling on March 22 and 29, April 11 and 27, May 8 and June 1, 20 and 22 .
As a result, the country lost 9 GW of production capacity of Ukrainian power plants.
This power is equal to the consumption in summer during peak hours in European countries such as the Netherlands, Finland or simultaneously in Slovakia and the Baltic countries.
