Ukraine Imposes Daylong Rolling Power Limits as Drone Strikes Cut Electricity in Four Regions
The restrictions aim to stabilize the grid after repeated attacks on energy infrastructure.
Overview
- Ukrenergo reports outages in Chernihiv, Kharkiv, Donetsk and Odesa following overnight and morning drone strikes, with repairs underway where security permits.
- Most regions are operating today under hourly shutdown schedules for households organized into rotation groups one through four from 00:00 to 23:59.
- Industrial consumers and businesses are subject to corresponding power limitation schedules throughout the same period.
- Electricity demand at 9:30 was 9.7% higher than at the same time on Friday, a rise attributed to cloudy weather reducing output from household solar systems.
- Ukrenergo urges careful use of electricity, recommending shifting energy‑intensive tasks after 22:00, and notes that timing and volumes may change with updates posted by regional distributors.
