New Power Outage Schedules for Kyiv
Kyiv will introduce temporary electricity outage schedules starting at midnight on January 29. These new schedules represent a significant shift from the previous system, as they will vary considerably across different districts of the capital. The schedules are no longer tied to the familiar '1.1' or '2.1' rotation groups but are now being created individually for each specific building, rendering the old group divisions obsolete.
The overall electricity supply situation remains highly unstable, with weather forecasts indicating a potential cold snap. Furthermore, the risk of new Russian attacks poses a continued threat to the energy infrastructure. In the initial days of this new system's operation, some inaccuracies and errors are possible, so consumers are advised to remain cautious.
How to Check for Outage Information
To check for power outage information, residents must enter their specific address on the websites of YASNO or DTEK Kyiv Grids. The head of YASNO clarified that the transition to new schedules does not mean all power supply issues are resolved. This is simply the only viable solution available to help people plan their daily routines.

The implementation of these new outage schedules in Kyiv is an attempt to adapt to a difficult energy resource situation caused by external factors, including military actions. Despite the challenges, this initiative provides consumers with an opportunity to plan their actions more effectively amid unstable power supply, which is especially crucial during the winter period.
It is vital for Kyiv residents to stay informed about changes and promptly check the outage schedules to avoid disruptions in their daily lives. These measures are part of Ukraine's ongoing effort to manage its energy grid under the strain of wartime damage and increased winter demand.
