What is the current situation in Ukraine’s power system?
According to the Ministry of Energy, restrictions are being imposed on consumers due to massive Russian shelling. The shelling has caused new blackouts in Dnipropetrovska, Donetska and Kharkivska oblasts.
The situation in the power system remains difficult. There is a significant capacity shortage due to massive Russian shelling. To partially cover it, Ukraine received surplus electricity from Poland’s power system at the request of Poland yesterday.
The shelling caused new blackouts in Dnipropetrovska, Donetska and Kharkivska oblasts. In total, customers in 7 regions are without electricity due to hostilities.
In the eastern region, a high-voltage overhead line was disconnected as a result of hostile shelling. During the inspection, experts found a broken wire and a lightning rod.
In the western region, a high-voltage overhead line was disconnected for technological reasons. The cause was a capacitor fire at one of the high-voltage substations.
