Kyiv Faces Up to 15 Hours of Outages as Ukraine Tightens Power Cuts

Utilities cite extensive damage to power infrastructure as the reason for prolonged cuts.

Overview

  • DTEK published a Kyiv schedule for Tuesday indicating some consumer groups could be without electricity for up to 15 hours.
  • Emergency shutoffs were introduced in Poltava, Sumy and Kharkiv regions, with morning planned schedules suspended, and part of Odesa’s Izmail district also reported outages.
  • Ukrenergo announced full‑day consumption schedules across most regions due to a system deficit caused by widespread damage to generation and distribution assets.
  • The operator said applying two to four outage queues translates to roughly 8 to 16 hours without power daily for non‑critical consumers, with local companies setting exact durations.
  • Officials previously reported multi‑hour outages nationwide beginning October 10 and described the energy situation as very difficult, with emergency schedules reintroduced from October 13.
