Russian shelling on December 3: thousands of households in five regions left without electricity

The Russian shelling cut off thousands of consumers in five regions of Ukraine. The Ministry of Energy of Ukraine reported that on December 3, due to Russian shelling of the energy infrastructure, several thousand consumers were left without electricity supply in five regions of the country. 17,500 households in the Kharkiv region, over 5,000 in the Dnipropetrovsk and Zaporizhzhia regions, as well as in Kherson, were left without power.

In the Odesa region, there was also a power outage, but by morning the situation was rectified, and the residents were provided with electricity. It is reported that one worker was injured during the attack and was taken to the hospital. Rescue operations are ongoing, and energy workers are working around the clock to promptly restore electricity supply.

Scheduled power outage and limitation charts continue to apply

Despite the danger posed to the energy system of Ukraine by attacks, scheduled power outage charts and capacity limitations for industrial enterprises and businesses continue to be applied. The Ministry of Energy urges consumers to use electricity rationally throughout the day, especially during morning and evening hours, to reduce the load on the system.

'Current schedules are posted on the official resources of regional distribution system operators. Learn about changes in energy supply on the pages of your region's energy company.'

Attacks on energy facilities in Ukraine

Recall that on December 2, the enemy launched a massive strike with combat drones on the south of the Odesa region. The targets were civil and energy infrastructure facilities, leading to damage to energy facilities, administrative buildings, and private households.

Incentives for the development of distributed energy generation

The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine decided to simplify the conditions for the development of distributed energy generation in the country by lifting power restrictions. This became possible due to a number of incentives introduced to support renewable energy sources in Ukraine. This is reported by 'Glavkom', citing Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko.

The Ukrainian energy sector has once again suffered from Russian shelling, which cut off thousands of consumers in several regions of the country. Power outage and limitation schedules continue to apply, but energy workers are working around the clock to promptly restore electricity supply. The Cabinet of Ministers will issue incentives for the development of distributed energy generation, simplifying conditions and removing power restrictions.
