Power outages on October 12: in certain regions schedules will be in effect from 06:00 to midnight
On Monday, October 12, hourly power outage schedules will be in effect in certain regions of Ukraine. Restrictions are planned from 06:00 to 23:59, Ukrenergo reported.
The volume of restrictions during the day will be from 0.5 to 1.5 queues. The specific outage time for each address must be checked with the local distribution system operator.
How power will be cut on October 12
According to Ukrenergo, from 06:00 to 23:59 hourly outage schedules will be applied for consumers in certain regions with a volume of 0.5 to 1.5 queues.
During the same period, capacity limitation schedules will be in effect for industry and business.
Restrictions are not introduced simultaneously across the country. The need to apply them depends on the situation in the power system and the state of networks in specific regions.
What 0.5 and 1.5 queues mean
The number of queues indicates the volume of restrictions in the power system, not the number of hours that a particular home will necessarily spend without electricity.
Consumers in the schedules are divided into six queues, each of which is further divided into two sub-queues.
Therefore, 0.5 queues corresponds to one sub-queue, and 1.5 queues corresponds to three sub-queues that may be simultaneously subject to restrictions.
The actual duration of outages for a specific consumer depends on the schedule of their regional power company.
Where to check outages for your address
Ukrenergo determines the required volume of restrictions, but specific hours of power absence are set by regional distribution system operators.
You should check your schedule on the official website, in the app, or official channels of your local regional power company.
During the day, schedules may be adjusted if the situation in the power system changes.
Why restrictions are being introduced again
The reason remains the consequences of Russian missile and drone attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure facilities.
Due to damage, the power system is forced to operate with limited capabilities, therefore in some regions it is necessary to temporarily reduce consumption.
Ukrenergo also urges consumers to use electricity sparingly during hours when it is supplied.
Thus, the main reference for October 12 is schedules from 06:00 to 23:59 and the volume of restrictions from 0.5 to 1.5 queues. The exact outage time for a specific home must be checked directly with your distribution system operator.
