    Ministry of Energy of Ukraine, posted 27 August 2024 11:32

    POWER GENERATION AND CONSUMPTION

    Yesterday, the enemy carried out one of the largest-scale attacks on energy facilities. As a result, the transmission system operator was forced to resort to emergency power outages to consumers to maintain and stabilise the situation in the system.

    Today, the planned schedules of hourly power outages will be in effect from 00:00 to 24:00. Information about any changes in power supply can be found on the official websites of regional power distribution companies.

    The facilities are currently undergoing attack mitigation, demining and repair work. Restoration work will continue around the clock.

    A large-scale repair campaign is also underway, with power engineers working to ensure the stability and integrity of the power system and prepare it for the autumn and winter period.

    To maintain the stability of the power grid, it is important to use electricity rationally and economically.

    Yesterday, the Ukrainian power system received emergency assistance from Slovakia and Poland.

    CONSEQUENCES OF SHELLING

    Over the past day, the enemy attacked a number of energy infrastructure facilities in Vinnytsia, Dnipropetrovsk, Zhytomyr, Zaporizhzhia, Kyiv, Odesa, Poltava, Rivne, Khmelnytskyi, and Chernihiv regions.

    An employee was killed in an enemy attack on one of the facilities. Another employee was injured and taken to hospital.

    STATE OF THE GRID

    Eastern region: substations, household and industrial consumers lost power due to technological disruptions. The power supply has been restored using the backup scheme.

    Southern region: an overhead line was disconnected for technological reasons, resulting in a power outage for household consumers. Power supply to all consumers has been restored.

    Central region: an overhead line was disconnected for technological reasons. It is now back online.

    POWER OUTAGES TO CONSUMERS

    Over the past day, power companies restored power to 9,848 consumers who were cut off as a result of hostilities and technological disruptions.

    In total, 543 settlements remain without power supply as of this morning due to hostilities and technical disruptions.
