Russian attacks cause new power outages in five regions, Ukrenergo says

According to Ukrinform, this was reported by NEC “Ukrenergo” on Facebook.

“As a result of drone strikes on energy facilities, as well as artillery shelling in frontline regions, power outages are currently affecting the Kyiv, Chernihiv, Donetsk, Kharkiv, and Zaporizhzhia regions. Power utility workers are doing everything possible to restore power to all affected consumers," the statement reads.

In the Odesa region, utility workers restored power to all customers following the previous day’s attack; however, grid restrictions are temporarily in place to prevent overloading of damaged equipment.

As of 9:30 a.m. on Thursday, electricity consumption is at the same level as the previous day.

Ukrenergo advises shifting peak electricity consumption to the period when industrial solar power plants operate most efficiently—from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Between 6:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m., utility officials ask that the use of high-power appliances be limited.

As previously reported, no power outage schedules are expected in Ukraine on September 3.
