On Thursday, November 12, in several regions of Ukraine, hourly electricity outage schedules will be in effect throughout the day. Restrictions are planned for the population and businesses; their volume will range from one to three stages.
This was announced on the evening of November 11 by the national energy company Ukrenergo.
According to the published information, outages will be applied around the clock — from 00:00 to 24:00. The number of simultaneously disconnected stages may vary depending on the situation in the power system.
Capacity limitation schedules are also provided for industrial consumers. Such measures reduce the load on the power system and maintain its stable operation.
The reason for the restrictions remains the consequences of Russian attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure. Damage to equipment and power grids complicates supplying consumers with electricity in the required amount.
Energy workers continue restoration work on damaged facilities to reduce the duration of forced outages and ensure stable power supply.
Ukrenergo warns that the time and volume of restrictions may be adjusted depending on the state of the power system. If necessary, regional distribution system operators will update schedules.
Residents are advised to check current schedules on the official websites and pages of their regional energy companies. Those regional operators publish outage times for specific addresses and stages.
In addition, consumers are urged to use electricity sparingly during periods when supply is restored, and if possible avoid turning on several powerful electrical appliances at the same time.
