After a massive Russian missile attack, Ukraine's energy system remains underpowered. During another attack, the invaders inflicted new damage, which led to a power shortage.
As a result of Russian missile and drone attacks, power plants (generating capacities) and the high-voltage network were damaged. The attack of the Russians on January 26 caused significant damage to several objects of the high-voltage network.
The Russians damaged power plants and the high-voltage network
In addition, the power grid is still recovering from the previous series of enemy rocket attacks that caused damage to the power units of power plants. As a result, electricity production at operating power plants cannot fully cover consumption.
Ukrenergo reported that the restoration of energy infrastructure facilities damaged during the massive attack on January 26 is underway. After the missile attack, network restrictions apply in Odessa.
In other regions where high-voltage infrastructure has suffered Russian missile or drone strikes, consumers are healed under backup schemes.
Ukrenergo stressed that after each next attack by Russians on energy infrastructure, recovery becomes more difficult and takes longer.
