The company "Ukrenergo" reported that there is still a capacity deficit in the energy system of Ukraine. Bad weather also complicates the situation, which is why emergency shutdowns have begun in some areas.

"Ukrenergo" writes about this on its Facebook page.

They informed that snow, icing and strong gusts of wind make it difficult to repair the energy infrastructure.

"In the east, the enemy again launched an artillery attack on one of the de-occupied areas. Energy infrastructure facilities were damaged. Emergency recovery work will begin after the permission of the military," they stated there.

All Oblenergos have received consumption limits, but in the morning emergency shutdowns have already started in some areas.

The DTEK company informed that emergency shutdowns continue in Kyiv region. Whereas in Kyiv, so far, all power outages are taking place according to schedules.

  • Russian troops systematically attack critical infrastructure facilities in Ukraine. Currently, about 40-50% of the energy infrastructure is seriously damaged. In this connection, both emergency and stabilizing power outages continue.
  • Almost all hydroelectric and thermal power plants in Ukraine suffered one or another damage after massive missile attacks. However, with each new shelling, Ukrainian air defense shoots down more and more missiles.
