The situation in the energy industry – what is known
As you know, since October, the Ukrainian energy industry has survived dozens of Russian missile strikes and kamikaze drone attacks. Due to damage and destruction of critical infrastructure in Ukraine, blackout schedules had to be introduced. The most difficult situation is most often observed in Odesa, Kyiv and Dnipropetrovsk regions, as well as in Kyiv. Significant problems also exist in other regions.
As reported by the Ministry of Energy, on February 4, the deficit of electricity in Ukraine during the evening peak will amount to 12% of the demand, the demand decreased due to the weekend.
On the morning of February 4, an accident occurred at one of the key facilities of the Odesa region’s energy infrastructure. As a result of the accident, part of the district and the regional center remained without electricity.
“Ukrenergo” reported that the energy companies will try to re-interview the Odesa networks through the areas that were not affected by the accident. The company also said that the equipment of the substation where the accident occurred was being restored after the Russian attacks, but its physical resource had reached the end: it broke, which triggered the fire.
