NEC Ukrenergo introduced emergency power outage schedules. Throughout Ukraine there are emergency and stabilization blackouts, which arose due to serious destruction of energy infrastructure facilities.
In this regard, people are interested in when the lights will be turned on and how to understand which queue the room is in for turning off the lights — about this in the material Facts ICTV.
How to find out how long the lights were turned off
Operators of the electrical energy distribution system regularly report on their websites, social networks and instant messengers the times and addresses at which electricity restrictions are planned, and how long it will last. Data is updated regularly depending on the situation.

The duration and time of light outages depend on the type of outages. In general, according to the instructions of Ukrenergo, they distinguish:
- emergency — the time and duration of such outages is unknown, since everything depends on the situation;
- emergency — Restoring power after a failure depends on the situation, so the time of outage is difficult to predict (detailed information can be found on the website of local power grid operators);
- stabilization — may last from 2 to 4 hours (check with your distribution system operator for details).
How to understand which queue for turning off the lights a house is in
Each distribution system operator has introduced blackout schedules. According to this graph, you can find out how long the lights were turned off and when they will be turned on. To distribute power evenly, the power outage schedule is distributed between queues. That is, for example, at a certain time the lights turn off for the first stage, then for the second, and so on.
How to find out which outage group a specific address belongs to?
Kiev residents can use the service on the YASNO website.
For this:
- go to the YASNO website;
- select your region;
- click on item Chart of probable outages;
- enter your address.
You can also find out the power outage schedule using the DTEK website.
For this:
- go to the DTEK website;
- select No power;
- enter address.
Residents of other cities can find out their turn to turn off the lights in the same way. Only by choosing the website of your electricity distribution system operator instead of YASNO or DTEK.
How to know when the lights are turned on or off in other ways
Subscribers of most companies can find out about outage schedules using a chatbot in Telegram or Viber. Messengers will tell you when the light will be returned to the house or notify you about a power outage. They can also be used to report a power outage.
Please note that before reporting a power outage, the subscriber must first find out where exactly the power went out. If only in a separate apartment or in a private house, then this is the owner's area of responsibility. But if in some apartments of a multi-story building, then in this case you should contact the service company.
