Energy supply to critical infrastructure facilities that perform life support functions for the population is not limited.
Although improved weather has reduced the deficit in the energy system, blackout schedules in Ukraine have to be applied periodically, since the lack of electricity in the evening and night hours still remains significant.
– The main reason for the application of restrictive measures is the consequences of missile attacks on Ukrainian power plants. As a result of five massive missile attacks from March to May, large thermal and hydroelectric power plants cannot produce as much electricity as before, explains Ukrenergo.
At the same time, the national energy company adds, the energy supply to critical infrastructure facilities that perform the function of life support for the population will not be limited.
Scheduled blackouts — how long will it 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 outage schedules for industry and the population will likely be applied due to the fact that the power system does not have enough power to cover the evening peak of consumption, – Kudritsky told.
Where to see scheduled power outages
Ukrenergo has already carried out work to designate consumption limits for each region in its branches.
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, and May 8.
