Blackout in 12 regions – Ukrenergo

This Monday morning in Ukraine, for various reasons, 578 settlements in 12 regions have completely or partially lost power. It was reported by Ukrainergo September 16.

“Due to the fighting, new power outages occurred in Donetsk, Dnepropetrovsk, Kherson, Kharkov, and Sumy regions. Due to bad weather, 86 settlements were cut off in the morning – in Kyiv, Chernihiv, Khmelnitsky, Kherson, Odessa , Zaporozhye, Dnepropetrovsk, and Poltava regions For technical reasons, there are de-energized consumers in Odessa, Poltava, Sumy and Lvov regions,” the message said.

Today, electrical engineers do not plan stabilization shutdowns. Electricity consumption decreased by 6.4% compared to the previous working day – Friday, September 13. This is due to the decrease in temperature in the western regions.

At the same time, energy workers ask citizens to consume electricity sparingly, and not to turn on several powerful electrical appliances at once from 16:00 to 22:00.

Currently, Ukraine imports electricity from Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Hungary and Moldova with a total volume of 18,300 MW-hours with a peak power of up to 1,426 MW at certain times.

Export is not in progress and is not expected.

Let’s recall that after the large-scale Russian attack on August 26, a severe lockdown was introduced in Ukraine. The light situation improved last week.

Russia’s attack on August 26 disrupted the operation of two nuclear power plants in Ukraine. Four power units are disconnected from the network.

Details of the incident at one of the nuclear power plants in Ukraine also became known, due to which its power was reduced.
