On January 3, hourly power outage schedules will come into effect in Ukraine: what is known

Implementation of power outage schedules

According to Главком: On January 3, Ukraine will implement hourly power outage schedules, as well as capacity restrictions for industrial consumers. These measures are a consequence of Russian missile and drone attacks on the country's energy facilities. According to information, the situation in the energy system remains complicated, as the energy system of Ukraine is experiencing a shortage of backup power supply systems.

The CEO of DTEK, Maxim Timchenko, noted that the winter of 2023 will be the most challenging since the beginning of the full-scale invasion. Daily Russian shelling of Ukraine's energy infrastructure continues, which also affects the stability of energy supply.

Recommendations for consumers

In this regard, consumers are advised to follow official announcements from energy companies in their regions to obtain up-to-date information about the timing and volume of possible power outages. The situation in the energy system may change depending on the operational situation.

“The implementation of power outage schedules indicates the serious challenges faced by Ukraine amid aggression.”

Support for energy infrastructure and timely information for consumers is critically important during this challenging period. The situation in the energy system requires constant monitoring, as further military actions may affect its stability.
