In its statement, the company said its emergency repair teams are on standby, but their work will begin only when the security situation allows.

It also reminded  Ukrenergo reminded there is still a power shortage during peak consumption hours ast Ukraine’s energy system is still recovering after massive Russian attacks.

People are urged to conserve electricity. Ukrenergo advised them against using multiple high-power appliances at once between 7:00 am to 11:00 am and 4:00 pm to 9:00 pm, when the strain on the energy grid is at its highest.
