Kyiv Region Power Outage Schedule for February 28: Detailed Timetable for 12 Consumer Groups

Scheduled Hourly Power Cuts in the Kyiv Region

According to Главком: DTEK, Ukraine's major energy provider, has published a schedule of planned hourly electricity blackouts for the Kyiv region on February 28, 2026. Consumers have been divided into 12 distinct groups, each with specific outage windows. These controlled interruptions are a common measure to manage grid stability during periods of high demand or infrastructure strain.

According to the published timetable:

• Group 1: Power off from 04:30 to 11:30 and from 15:00 to 18:30.
• Group 2: Power off from 04:30 to 08:00 and from 15:00 to 18:30.
• Groups 3 and 4:
  • from 00:00 to 01:00
  • from 08:00 to 11:30
  • from 18:30 to 23:30
• Groups 4.1 and 4.2:
  • from 00:00 to 01:00
  • from 08:00 to 11:30
  • from 18:30 to 23:30
  • from 00:00 to 02:00
  • from 08:00 to 15:00
• Other Groups:
  • Outages from 01:00 to 04:30 and from 11:30 to 15:00 for Groups 5.1 and 6.1.
  • Outages from 02:00 to 04:30 and from 11:30 to 15:00 for Groups 5.2 and 6.2.

Furthermore, a recent assessment highlights that Ukraine's energy sector requires an estimated $90.6 billion USD for recovery and modernization over the next decade. This figure represents a 34% increase from previous damage estimates.

The Critical Need for Energy Sector Investment

The scheduled outages in the Kyiv region are part of broader efforts to stabilize the national power grid, which faces mounting demand and aging infrastructure. The sharply revised cost estimate for sector-wide reconstruction underscores the profound challenges confronting Ukraine and emphasizes the urgent need for strategic investment and efficient resource management to ensure a reliable electricity supply for the future.
