POWER GENERATION, TRANSMISSION, CONSUMPTION

In Kharkiv, hourly blackout schedules were applied yesterday – about 100,000 customers were cut off. Restrictions have also been applied this morning: about 350,000 consumers in Kharkiv and the districts of the region were disconnected.

There are also electricity restrictions in Kryvyi Rih district in Dnipropetrovsk region. No restrictions are planned for other regions. No electricity shortages are expected.

Ukraine also provided emergency electricity supplies to Poland. The total amount of electricity transmitted was 1,500 MWh.

Ukraine’s power system is stable and balanced.

STATE OF THE GRID

Yesterday afternoon, for technological reasons, consumers in the central part of Kyiv – residential high-rise buildings and 29 institutions on Khreshchatyk Street and Bohdan Khmelnytskyi Street – were cut off. Within an hour, the power was restored.

In Kryvyi Rih, last night, a high-speed tram, a local thermal power plant, household and industrial consumers lost power due to a 150 kV overhead line outage caused by technological reasons. In less than an hour, the overhead line was reconnected and all consumers were supplied with power.

CONSEQUENCES OF THE BAD WEATHER

Due to the bad weather, 12 settlements remain without power supply – 9 in Chernihiv region and 3 in Zhytomyr region. Power engineers are working to restore power to consumers as soon as possible.
