The state of the energy system in Kyiv has not changed much. On December 20, almost the entire city was switched off – this is about 1.1 million users.
Sergey Kovalenko, CEO of YASNO, said on Tuesday evening that the company does not even count on approaching the shutdown schedule.
In fact, now we have power 50% less than necessary. With which you need to heal critical infrastructure. But the light is steadily supplied to critical infrastructure, the city is mainly with water and heating. At the same time, dispatchers are trying to ensure that the districts have supplies at least for a short time, but there are a number of houses that have not been turned on since yesterday morning, Kovalenko said.
He said that in Dnipro “everything is more or less stable, colleagues are trying to get as close as possible to the schedules.”
Hope for good news tomorrow. Repair work continues. But if you still haven’t warmed up and looked through the list of things you need to live peacefully during long blackouts, now is the time to take care of it, the head of the energy company added.
In the Kyiv region, it is still impossible to supply people with electricity in turn, DTEK reported on December 20.
Recall that the Air Force said that on December 19 there was the largest drone attack on Ukraine since the beginning of the great war. Of the 35 “shaheeds” of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, 30 were shot down. Most of the strike UAVs attacked Kyiv and the region.
Due to the scale of damage to the backbone networks of NPC Ukrenergo after the Russian attack, there is no way to ensure the alternate supply of electricity to the residents of the region. DTEK assumes that this situation may continue for 2-3 days.
The situation with electricity supply in the Kyiv region remains critical, OVA chairman Oleksiy Kuleba also said.
As a result of large-scale damage to the energy infrastructure, Ukrenergo applies emergency power outages. 80% of the region is without electricity. The most difficult situation is in Buchansky, Vyshgorodsky, Obukhovsky and partially Fastovsky districts.
