Russian attacks cause new power outages in 12 regions - Ukrenergo
Russian attacks on Ukraine's energy sector over the past day have led to new blackouts in 12 regions at once, national energy company Ukrenergo has said.
Ukrenergo, Ukraine's national energy company, reports that Russian attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure have caused new power outages in 12 regions simultaneously. On Tuesday, the company issued a Telegram post detailing the outage in Kirovohrad, Zhytomyr, Lviv, Odesa, Rivne, Ternopil, Khmelnytskyi, Zaporizhia, Donetsk, Kharkiv, Sumy, and Chernihiv regions.
Emergency restoration efforts have commenced in areas where security conditions permit. However, heavy rain and strong winds have left nine settlements in Odesa and Dnipropetrovsk regions fully or partially without electricity. Conversely, sunny weather has resulted in reduced electricity consumption, down 2.6% compared to Monday.
Despite the sunny conditions, power restrictions will remain in effect until the end of the day across all regions to prevent overloading of equipment damaged by prior Russian shelling. The volume of power outages is estimated to affect up to two queues of consumers, or approximately eight hours without electricity (ER).
