Ukraine applies scheduled power cuts this Tuesday after new attacks on its electricity grid

Ukrenergo, Ukraine's electricity grid operator, reported on Monday 26 October new supply outages in the Dnipropetrovsk, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia, Chernihiv, Kharkiv and Sumy regions, which it attributes to Russian attacks on civilian energy infrastructure, according to the state news agency Ukrinform. Crews began repairs wherever the security situation allowed.

For this Tuesday, the 27th, Ukrenergo has imposed mandatory consumption restrictions in some regions: restrictions for industry from 06:00 to 23:59 and hourly outages of between 1.5 and 2.5 queues for all categories of consumers, according to UA.News. The operator warns that the situation may change depending on the attacks and asks people to check the distribution companies' websites.

According to Ukrinform, at 09:30 on Monday consumption was 5.8% lower than on Friday 23 October, and Ukrenergo asked people to limit the use of high-consumption appliances between 16:00 and 22:00. UA.News adds that the emergency outages ordered in the Kyiv region were lifted after the grid stabilised.

Ukrenergo has not detailed which facilities were damaged or how many customers are affected.
