  "account": "JSC Market Operator, responsible for Ukraine's wholesale electricity market, has reported damage to its infrastructure, causing disruptions to its operations. Head Oleksandr Havva revealed the issue on Wednesday, stating that the company's website and support service have been rendered unavailable. He assured that efforts are in progress to switch to backup equipment. However, the restoration process is expected to take some time, with a resolution anticipated by 1400 hours.\n\nHavva requested market participants to submit all inquiries through the company's Telegram account or by contacting him directly. Earlier, he had informed that standard support mechanisms were not functioning properly. The market operator had previously reported a malfunction in its hardware, which was interfering with trading on the day-ahead market (DAM) and intraday market (IDM). Consequently, the IDM trading was suspended, and the DAM gate closure time was extended until 1400 hours. The Market Operator has been implementing all feasible measures to rectify the malfunction.",
