The resulting damage to generation facilities and trunk networks is complex and large-scale, and their restoration will take considerable time.

After the Russian occupiers inflicted thousands of blows on Ukraine’s energy system, the most difficult thing is with the supply of electricity in Kyiv and the central region, since there is a significant shortage of power in the system.

According to NEC “Ukrenergo”, consumption limits have been established for all regions, exceeding which leads to the application of emergency restrictions.

“All types of generation are working. One more of the nuclear power plant units is connected to the network, capacity is being added. At the same time, there are certain limitations in the electricity transmission system caused by damage to main networks by systematic missile and drone attacks,” the message says.

“The most difficult situation remains in the central region and Kyiv, as well as in the frontline regions in the east and south of the country,” the company said.

According to Ukrenergo, repair works are ongoing around the clock, but the resulting damage to generation facilities and main networks is complex and large-scale, and their restoration will take considerable time.
