Will there be power outage schedules on March 30?
As of the morning of March 30, no restrictions are being imposed on consumers.
However, Ukrainians are urged to monitor announcements from their regional power companies, as the situation in the power grid may change depending on the security situation and the progress of repair work.
Where to check information about power
The Ministry of Energy advises checking for the latest information on possible changes to power supply on the official websites of distribution system operators, i.e., the regional power companies in your area.
There you can find:
- information about emergency power outages;
- expected restoration times;
- updates on repair work;
- possible local restrictions.
How Ukrainians are being asked to use electricity
Despite the absence of nationwide restrictions, the ministry is urging consumers to use electricity sparingly during peak hours—in the morning and evening.
This helps reduce the load on the system and makes it easier for utility workers to restore the grid following Russian attacks.
