Power outages reported in four regions following attacks on energy sector — Ukrenergo
According to Ukrinform, Ukrenergo reported this on Facebook.
"As a result of Russian drone attacks and artillery shelling targeting energy infrastructure in frontline regions, consumers in the Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia, Dnipropetrovsk, and Kharkiv regions remain without power this morning. Emergency restoration work is already underway wherever security conditions permit," the statement said.
Electricity consumption as of 09:30 on Tuesday was 1.9% lower than the previous day. The reason for this is the shift from cloudy to clear weather in many regions, which has increased the efficiency of household solar power stations.
"Please use electricity sparingly. Do not switch on several high-power electrical appliances simultaneously during evening peak hours from 18:00 to 22:00," the power grid operator urged.
As previously reported, no electricity consumption restrictions are planned in Ukraine on May 19.
