Overview
- Ukrenergo published hourly rotation plans for Sunday, October 25, with household outages running 07:00–23:59 in affected areas and separate business and industry capacity limits from 06:00–23:59.
- By Ukrenergo command, emergency unscheduled cuts were applied earlier in parts of Kyiv (Holosiivskyi and Solomianskyi) and surrounding Kyiv region districts and such emergency outages override the preannounced rotation schedules.
- Operators say the measures respond to massed Russian attacks that have damaged energy facilities and weakened the country’s ability to meet normal demand.
- Regional distribution system operators will publish real‑time updates on outage timing and locations and the public and firms are being urged to conserve electricity when it is available because the situation can change rapidly.
- Wider context: strikes on October 23 left consumers in several oblasts without power, reinforcing grid fragility ahead of winter and prompting energy firms to seek faster international support to avoid deeper blackouts.
