    Ministry of Energy of Ukraine, posted 29 July 2024 11:04

    Situation in the power system as of 29 July: outage schedules are planned to be applied from 18:00 to 23:00; 93 settlements in 4 regions are without power due to the weather.

    GENERATION, TRANSMISSION, CONSUMPTION

    As of today, it is planned that hourly outage schedules will be applied only during the evening peak consumption hours - from 18:00 to 23:00. Restrictions will be applied within one queue.

    For information about changes in the schedules, please visit the official resources of the regional power distribution companies in your region.

    There will be no blackouts for critical infrastructure companies and companies that import more than 80% of electricity for their needs in accordance with a Government decree.

    A significant capacity deficit in the power system remains. As a result of massive hostile attacks on the energy sector, 9 GW of production capacity was lost. There is constant shelling, especially in the frontline and border areas. Substations and power transmission lines are often targeted. As a result of missile and drone strikes, there are restrictions on the transmission of available electricity.

    We urge Ukrainians to continue to consume electricity sparingly.

    STATE OF THE GRIDS

    In Chernihiv region, a high-voltage overhead line was disconnected due to technological faults. Several substations, household and industrial consumers lost power. All consumers were supplied with electricity by the reserve scheme.

    EMERGENCIES 

    In Donetsk region, equipment at one of the mines was damaged by shelling, which resulted in the shutdown of the ventilation system. At the time of the incident, there were 65 employees in the mine. The ventilation equipment was promptly put back into operation.

    In Dnipropetrovsk region, an enemy shelling of the territory of a power company damaged administrative buildings and several company vehicles. There were no casualties.

    POWER OUTAGES

    As of this morning, 93 settlements in Khmelnytsky, Zhytomyr, Chernihiv and Kyiv regions were without power due to the bad weather.

    Power engineers supplied power to 1,853 consumers who were cut off as a result of hostilities.

    In total, 478 settlements remain without electricity supply due to hostilities and technical failures.

    SITUATION AT ZNPP

    The water level in the cooling pond is 14.82 metres. This is enough to meet the plant's needs.

    EXPORT

    There are no exports and they are not planned.
