From July 9 to 24, all regions of Ukraine will change the power outage schedules — there will be no restrictions on one of the days during these two weeks in each region.
This was reported by "Ukrenergo".
On other days, the lights will be turned off according to the blackout schedules published by the regional energy authority of each region. This is how the actual light consumption in each area is measured — this is a standard procedure that is carried out every year in winter and summer.
When there will be no restrictions in the region
If Russia does not attack the energy infrastructure of Ukraine, which will lead to new consequences for the energy system, the approximate schedule is as follows:
- July 9: the Dnipropetrovsk region;
- July 10: the city of Kyiv;
- July 11: the Kyiv region, the Khmelnytskyi region;
- July 12: Donetsk, Chernihiv, Odesa regions;
- July 16: Zaporizhzhia, Vinnytsia, Rivne regions;
- July 18: Volyn, Lviv; Chernivtsi region;
- July 19: Ternopil; Poltava, Kherson, Transcarpathian regions;
- July 23: Cherkasy, Kharkiv, Mykolaiv regions;
- July 24: Zhytomyr, Ivano-Frankivsk, Sumy, Kirovohrad regions.
Ukrenergo
Measurements do not apply to temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine.
In this way, Ukrenergo will be able to see how much each region consumes right now, in the summer, without turning off the lights, and how much electricity each region needs. It will also help ensure a more even distribution of power between regions and obtain certain data — to increase the resilience of the power system to Russian attacks.
- On the night of June 22, the Russians launched the eighth massive air attack on the Ukrainian energy industry since the beginning of the year. Because of this, the situation in the power system remains difficult and schedules of power outages are established.
