Due to a new Russian attack on energy infrastructure, 7 regions in Ukraine experienced power outages, emergency shutdowns are in effect in Kyiv and 4 regions, and 4 regions are experiencing power interruptions due to bad weather, the Ministry of Energy reported on Monday, writes UNN.<\/p>\n

Enemy shelling<\/h2>\n

"This night, the enemy launched another attack on Ukraine's energy system. As a result of the attack, consumers in Odesa, Zhytomyr, Sumy, Kharkiv, Donetsk, Dnipropetrovsk, and Chernihiv regions were de-energized," the report says.<\/p>\n

Energy workers began emergency restoration work overnight.<\/p>\n

"Repair work continues in Odesa and Zhytomyr regions to restore power to consumers," the Ministry of Energy noted.<\/p>\n

"In Chernihiv region, an energy infrastructure facility was damaged as a result of enemy shelling. A number of settlements were de-energized," the ministry indicated.<\/p>\n

Restoration of electricity supply will begin as soon as the security situation allows.<\/p>\n

"Restoration work continues in Kyiv and Kyiv region. Emergency shutdowns are being applied to parts of the right and left banks. A gradual transition from emergency restrictions to scheduled hourly shutdowns is underway," the Ministry of Energy reported.<\/p>\n

Bad weather<\/h2>\n

"Due to unfavorable weather conditions, 161 settlements in Kyiv region, 48 in Zakarpattia, 36 in Dnipropetrovsk, and 15 in Chernihiv regions have been de-energized," the Ministry of Energy noted.<\/p>\n

Repair crews of oblenergos are working to restore damaged lines.<\/p>\n

Schedules and emergency shutdowns<\/h2>\n

"Currently, most regions have hourly shutdown schedules. In Kyiv and Kyiv region, Odesa, Kharkiv, and Donetsk regions, emergency schedules are applied. Their duration may depend on a significant drop in air temperature," the Ministry of Energy noted.<\/p>\n

The Ministry of Energy called on Ukrainians to be understanding of temporary restrictions, support each other, and, if possible, consume electricity sparingly during this difficult period.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
