    POWER GENERATION, TRANSMISSION, CONSUMPTION

    Yesterday, to partially cover the electricity deficit, Ukraine additionally attracted emergency assistance from the power systems of Poland, Romania and Slovakia.

    Today, the schedules of hourly consumer outages are applied from 0:00 to 24:00. If the situation changes, the information will be updated.

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