Ukraine Imposes Day-Long Rolling Power Cuts Nationwide Today
The grid operator says the cuts follow damage from recent missile/drone strikes on energy sites.
Overview
- Hourly shutdown schedules run from 00:00 to 23:59 with 2.5–4 rotation queues for households across all regions.
- Power‑limiting schedules are in place for industrial consumers during the same 24‑hour period.
- Ukrenergo cautions that timing and scope may change and directs residents to regional oblenenergo pages for updates.
- The rotation volume exceeds recent levels of roughly 0.5–3 queues after strikes that also hit sites in Poltava, Kremenchuk, Chernihiv, and overnight in Donetsk.
- By 09:30 local time, national electricity use was 15.2% below Friday due to wider shutoffs, and the operator urges postponing energy‑intensive tasks until after 23:00.
