POWER GENERATION, TRANSMISSION, CONSUMPTION

Due to massive russian shelling, the power system is experiencing a capacity shortage. Yesterday, to partially cover it, Ukraine additionally engaged emergency assistance from the power systems of Poland and Slovakia.

Today, the hourly outage schedules are applied from 0:00 to 24:00.

The main reason for the restrictions is the enemy’s attacks on the energy infrastructure and the negative consequences of these attacks.
