Emergency electricity schedules are in effect in Kyiv and the Kyiv region, in the Odesa region, and partially in the Zhytomyr region, according to Acting Minister of Energy Artem Nekrasov.
“Currently, hourly power outages are in effect in almost all regions. Emergency schedules are in effect in Kyiv and the Kyiv region, in the Odesa region, and partially in the Zhytomyr region. Their duration may depend on the drop in air temperature. For the latest information, please refer to the official resources of your regional power distribution company,” the press service of the Ministry of Energy quoted him as saying, according to "Komersant Ukrainian".
In particular, in Zhytomyr region, according to the acting Minister of Energy, more than 7,000 subscribers remain without electricity. Emergency power cuts have been imposed in part of the region. A return to the planned hourly power cut schedules will take place immediately after the situation in the power system stabilizes.
Meanwhile, a key stage of emergency restoration work has been completed in Kyiv and the Kyiv region. Emergency power cuts are in effect in the capital in parts of the Pechersky and Holosiivsky districts and on the Left Bank. A gradual transition from emergency restrictions to the planned hourly power cut schedule is underway.
It is noted that due to unfavorable weather conditions, 110 settlements in the Kyiv region and 48 in the Chernihiv region are also without power. Repair crews from the regional power company are working to restore the damaged lines.
“Energy companies are working on gradually transitioning consumers to predictable schedules, but this requires time and a phased connection. Specialists are doing everything possible to stabilize the situation as quickly as possible and give Kyiv residents the opportunity to plan their day,” Nekrasov said.
