Ukraine Imposes Emergency Power Cuts in Multiple Regions as Demand Stays High

Operators attribute the cuts to earlier strike damage.

Overview

  • DTEK reports emergency shutoffs in Dnipropetrovsk and Donetsk regions and in the Brovary and Boryspil districts of Kyiv region on Ukrenergo’s command.
  • Ukrenergo says morning electricity use on October 14 matched the previous day, with cloud cover limiting rooftop solar output and lower temperatures increasing electric heating.
  • Chernihiv region remains on three rotating hourly outage queues managed by the local utility.
  • Ukrenergo reports emergency disconnections across Sumy, Kharkiv, Poltava, Dnipropetrovsk, and parts of Kirovohrad, Kyiv, and Cherkasy, with only industrial users curtailed in Zaporizhzhia.
  • Repair work continues on damaged energy facilities, and operators urge households to avoid running multiple high‑load appliances during the 16:00–22:00 peak.
