This is due to Russian attacks and cooling.

Ukrainians need to be ready to restore emergency power outages.

This was announced by the Prime Minister of Ukraine Denys Shmyhal during the government meeting. According to him, from January 6, a significant cooling is expected in Ukraine, which will increase consumption and increase the deficit in the energy system.

“In addition, the enemy is ready to launch another missile attack on civilian and energy infrastructure. Therefore, we should all be ready to restore emergency shutdowns,” Shmigal said.

State of the energy system of Ukraine

As you know, the Russian Federation has been attacking critical infrastructure facilities in Ukraine since October, trying to blackout the Ukrainians.

For the first time, they massively attacked critical infrastructure facilities on October 10, 2022. And after the shelling on November 23, the country experienced a blackout.

On December 16, the occupiers carried out the ninth missile attack, firing 76 missiles at the objects of critical infrastructure of Ukraine.

Massive Russian shelling of Ukraine with missiles and kamikaze drone attacks continued on the afternoon of December 31 and New Year’s Eve.

As of the end of December, 702 critical infrastructure facilities were damaged in the country.

Shmyhal reported that the government is currently considering the possibility of creating a decentralized energy system.
