Overview
- Kyiv's schedules for Tuesday include up to 15 hours without electricity for some groups, according to DTEK data.
- Emergency shutdowns were imposed in Poltava, Sumy and Kharkiv regions, with parts of the Izmail district also cut off as planned timetables were suspended.
- Generation at the Trypilska and Zmiiv thermal plants ceased after Nov. 7–8 explosions, removing at least about 1 GW and compounding damage to generation and transmission assets.
- ENTSO-E approved an increase in Ukraine’s import limit to 2.3 GW in December, but Ukrenergo says internal constraints prevent full use of the current 2.1 GW.
- Ukrenergo said consumption limits will remain in place on Wednesday, while experts warn damaged substations and lines make equal distribution across regions technically unworkable.
