Power outage schedules to be in effect in some regions of Ukraine on Thursday

Ukraine's national power grid operator, Ukrenergo, has announced hourly power outage schedules for certain regions on Thursday, according to Ukrinform. These restrictions will apply to all consumer categories and range from 0.5 to 1.5 outage groups. Industrial facilities and businesses will also face power consumption restrictions due to Russian missile and drone attacks on energy infrastructure.

Ukrenergo emphasized that the power system situation could alter as a result of these ongoing attacks, urging residents to conserve electricity during available hours. Regional electricity distribution operators will provide updated information, including outage schedules, on their social media platforms. As of the morning of October 14, Russia's large-scale assault on Ukraine's energy infrastructure had already led to new power outages in Kyiv and seven regions, with some regions implementing scheduled outages of up to two groups.
