On December 6, power outage schedules have been updated in Kyiv and the Kyiv region after another massive missile and drone attack by the Russian Federation on the energy infrastructure. For most consumers, the duration and timing of power outages have changed. This is reported by DTEK.
Power Outage Schedules in Kyiv on December 6
According to DTEK, in the capital, most queues are now switched off twice a day. Depending on the queue, residents of Kyiv will be left without electricity for between 3.5 to 8.5 hours a day.
The main parameters of the updated schedules are as follows:
-
part of the queues are switched off in the morning hours between 06:00 and 10:30
-
the second wave of outages mostly occurs during the daytime and evening periods from 14:00 to 21:00
-
some groups of consumers may remain without power until late evening, approximately until 23:00–24:00.
Consumers are advised to check their queue and the current outage times through DTEK's official services.
Power Outage Schedules in the Kyiv Region on December 6
Updated stabilization schedules are also in effect in the Kyiv region. For most queues, the duration of outages will be approximately 3.5–8.5 hours per day, distributed over two intervals during the day.
According to DTEK's infographic:
-
morning outages for some consumers last mainly from 06:00 to 11:30
-
daytime and evening power outages are scheduled between 15:00 and 22:00
-
some queues may experience outages until midnight.
Energy workers emphasize that the actual outage time may vary by 20–30 minutes due to technological switching.
It should be noted that on the night of December 6, Russian forces again struck energy facilities in eight regions, partially cutting off consumers in Odesa, Kyiv region, Chernihiv region, Kharkiv region, Dnipropetrovsk region, and Mykolaiv region. In Odesa, another strike on the port and energy facility forced part of the infrastructure to switch to generator power. According to Aleksandr Kharchenko, director of the Energy Research Center, full restoration of Ukraine's energy system could take up to eight years after hostilities end, so outages could occur both in summer and winter during peak consumption periods.
