Russian strikes lead to power outages in 7 regions – Ukrenergo
Attacks on energy infrastructure, which Russia continues to carry out, have led to power outages for some consumers in seven regions of Ukraine, (National Power Company) NPC Ukrenergo reported.
"As a result of drone attacks on energy facilities, as of this morning, there are de-energized consumers in Zhytomyr, Dnipropetrovsk, Zaporizhia, Donetsk, Odesa, Kharkiv, and Chernihiv regions," the NPC statement posted on Telegram says.
At the same time, electricity consumption continues to decrease—as of Friday morning, its level was 3.7% lower than at the same time the previous day, Thursday.
"The reason for these changes is clear weather in a significant part of the regions, which results in the efficient operation of household solar power plants," Ukrenergo explains.
Accordingly, the company urges shifting active energy consumption to the period of the most efficient operation of solar power plants—from 11:00 to 15:00.
As was reported, no planned power outages are scheduled for Friday.
