Overview

• Emergency outages are in effect this morning in Kharkiv, Sumy, Poltava, Donetsk, Dnipropetrovsk, Zaporizhia, and parts of Kirovohrad, according to Ukrenergo.
• Chernihiv is operating hourly rotational shutoffs arranged in two tranches by local distributors.
• In Zaporizhia, restrictions are focused on industrial consumers to stabilize the grid.
• Sumy has introduced four consumer tranches, with authorities unable to forecast outage durations and measures remaining until Ukrenergo cancels them.
• National electricity use at 09:30 was 9.5% higher than on October 9 due to cooler, cloudier weather and increased use of electric heaters, and Ukrenergo asks households to avoid running multiple high‑power appliances at once.
