Russian shelling causes power outages in three regions — Ukrenergo

According to Ukrinform, this was reported by NPC Ukrenergo on its Facebook page.

"During the night, the enemy launched drone strikes on energy facilities in several regions. As a result, a significant number of users in the Odesa and Donetsk regions were left without power in the morning. There are also local power outages in the Kharkiv region due to hostilities. Emergency repair work is ongoing in all regions affected by the shelling," the statement said.

It is noted that as of 9:30 a.m. on Friday, electricity consumption is at the same level as the previous day. Power outage schedules are in effect throughout Ukraine for 24 hours.

“There is still a need for energy conservation. Please limit the use of powerful electrical appliances whenever possible. If possible, move energy-intensive processes to night hours after 11 p.m.” Ukrenergo advises.

As reported, a substation was damaged due to the Russian attack on the Odesa region, and as of this morning, 90,000 customers remain without electricity.
