Schedules for industrial and residential consumers will be in effect across regions
On November 9, power consumption restrictions will be applied in several regions of Ukraine. Outage schedules will be in effect throughout the day for both industrial and residential consumers. This is reported by the portal PromPolitInform, citing the Telegram channel of Ukrenergo.
Throughout the day, from 00:00 to 23:59, power capacity limitation schedules will be in operation across the country, affecting the industrial sector. Simultaneously, hourly outage schedules are being introduced for all consumer categories, involving the simultaneous application of 1.5 to 4 queues.
Reasons for energy restrictions
The necessity of these measures is due to the consequences of regular massive strikes by the russian federation against energy infrastructure facilities. These shelling attacks caused significant damage, which has negatively impacted the stability of the power grid’s operation.
Current situation in the energy system
The transmission system operator notes that due to hostilities, the situation remains unstable and can change dynamically. Consumers are strongly advised to monitor updates on the official resources of local distribution system operators, as schedules directly depend on current capacity figures.
During periods when electricity is available, citizens are urged to use energy resources sparingly, which will help reduce the load on the system amid the current deficit in generating capacities.
