Work of Energy Workers and Repair Measures
Employees of energy companies are working in an intensified mode and are conducting restoration work around the clock. According to specialists, the main goal is to restore electricity supply to residents of the affected areas as quickly as possible.
Impact of Bad Weather and Recommendations for the Population
In addition to the consequences of combat actions, over 30 settlements in the Zhytomyr, Kyiv, and Cherkasy regions were left without electricity due to severe weather conditions. Energy workers are already working on eliminating damages and restoring electricity supply.
As of today, no electricity consumption restrictions are forecasted. However, to ensure a balanced load on the energy system, residents are advised to shift the active use of electrical appliances to daytime hours — from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM. In the evening, from 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM, it is advisable to conserve electricity to avoid overloading the system.
“Ukrainians can learn about any changes in the operation of the energy system through the official resources of their distribution system operators.”
It is important to keep track of updates and messages from electricity network operators to obtain current information about the state of electricity supply in your region.
