On Saturday, November 14, in some regions of Ukraine, hourly power outage schedules will be in effect around the clock. The volume of restrictions will range from 1.5 to 3 queues.
This was announced on the evening of November 13 by the national energy company Ukrenergo.
According to the company's statement, electricity supply restrictions will be applied throughout the day - from 00:00 to 23:59.
For industrial enterprises and businesses, capacity limitation schedules are also planned and will be in effect during the day.
Compared to Friday, November 13, the planned volume of hourly outages remains unchanged. On the previous day, restrictions from 1.5 to 3 queues were also in effect in some regions.
The reason for the introduction of schedules is the consequences of Russian attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure. As a result of shelling, energy facilities and equipment needed for stable power supply to consumers were damaged.
Ukrenergo stated that power engineers are working around the clock to restore damaged equipment and power networks.
It is noted that the number of queues does not mean the same duration of outages for all residents. Specific hours without electricity depend on the region, condition of local networks, and consumer group.
The company warned that the situation in the energy system may change, so the schedules may be adjusted during the day.
Ukrainians are advised to check up-to-date information on outages for their address on official websites and pages of regional electricity distribution system operators.
