Outage schedules are drawn up and applied by oblenergo.
Electricity deficit in Ukraine is now 27%, which is 3% less than today. Exceeding consumption limits leads to the need to apply emergency shutdowns to avoid network overload and ensure balance in the energy system.
NEC “Ukrenergo” informs Telegram that all operators of the distribution system (oblenergo) have been provided with consumption limits for each region.
“As of 11:00 a.m. on November 30, electricity producers provide 73% of electricity consumption in Ukraine. The capacity deficit is 27%. Generation capacity is gradually increasing, which will make it possible to slightly reduce the deficit in the power system,” the message says.
“Ukrenergo” also reminded that outage schedules are drawn up and directly applied by Oblenergo. In this, the restrictions must be applied equally between consumers.
A blow to the energy system of Ukraine:
On October 10, 2022, the Russian Federation launched attacks on critical infrastructure facilities in Ukraine. The occupiers are hitting power stations, hydropower and heat generation facilities. An emergency power outage began across the country.
On November 15, Russia fired 100 missiles into the territory of Ukraine. It was the most massive shelling of Ukraine’s energy system since the beginning of the war.
On November 17, an anti-record for power outages was set in Kyiv. On November 18, 2022, the KMDA advised Kyiv residents to stock up on water and food. DTEK urged Ukrainians to think about leaving the country for the winter in order to save energy.
As of November 19, 2022, the occupiers have destroyed about 50% of Ukraine’s energy infrastructure.
On November 23, Russia again struck the energy system of Ukraine. The Zaporizhzhia NPP went into full blackout mode. The NPP was stopped. The Ministry of Energy of Ukraine announced that a blackout had begun in the entire energy system of the country.
On November 24, 70% of residential buildings in Kyiv were cut off. DTEK announced that the lights will be turned on for 2-3 hours a day in Kyiv.
