On Sunday, February 12, there will be no hourly outages in Ukrainian cities. However, Ukrenergo told in which regions electricity could be turned off.
Consumption in Ukraine remains significant due to lower temperatures, although less than on a weekday. So far, there is no shortage of power, but the situation may still change.

What is the state of the Ukrainian energy system
Ukraine's energy system has already survived 14 enemy missile attacks and 17 waves of attacks UAV for power facilities. In addition, more than 10 GW of the main installed capacity is now inaccessible to the Ukrainian energy system and is under the control of the enemy. This is the largest Zaporozhye NPP in Ukraine and Europe, as well as Zaporizhzhya TPP, Luhanska TPP, Uglegorsk TPP, Kakhovskaya HPP.
In addition, most wind and solar power plants are located in the temporarily occupied areas of the south.
Let's note that apart from nuclear power plants, other power plants are the key regulating capacities. It is they who cover consumption during peak morning and evening hours, where there is the greatest shortage, the ministry added.
Restoration work continues at thermal power plants damaged during missile attacks and drone attacks. Electricity is being imported.
