In Kharkiv, the heating season will end early due to a shortage of electricity

In Kharkiv, the heating season will end early due to a shortage of electricity. The situation in the city remains difficult — 215 800 consumers are without electricity.

This was reported by the mayor of Kharkiv Ihor Terekhov.

Early completion of the heating season will allow to provide light to the maximum number of consumers and provide hot water to the homes of Kharkiv residents. They will start turning off the heat supply from tomorrow — the air temperature outside is favorable for this, Terekhov said.

Hourly blackout schedules are used in the city, but today they were able to restore power to the metro in Kharkiv. The interval of the subway is 20 minutes.

Chairman of the Board of “Ukrenergo” Volodymyr Kudrytskyi said that the decision to end the heating season in each of the regions affected by Russian missiles will be made separately, depending on the ambient temperature.

• On March 22, Russia launched the largest combined attack on the Ukrainian energy system since the beginning of the full-scale invasion. There was a blackout in Kharkiv. There was no electricity for more than a day in almost the entire city.
• On March 25, the Russians again attacked Ukraine with drones, targeting energy infrastructure. In Odesa, one of the high-voltage power facilities of "Ukrenergo" was damaged, and in the Mykolaiv region, a power facility was targeted.
