Ukraine Sets Rolling Power Restrictions for Nov. 4 as Grid Strain Increases

The operator says strike damage is squeezing a grid facing higher rainy‑weather demand.

Overview

  • Ukrenergo scheduled hourly outages in select regions on November 4 from 08:00–11:00 and 15:00–22:00 to stabilize the system.
  • Industrial users face power limits in the same morning and evening windows alongside household restrictions.
  • The planned volumes range from 0.5 to 1.5 blocks and may be adjusted, with updates posted by regional distribution operators on social media.
  • Electricity use at 07:30 was 2.5% higher than the previous day as cloudy, rainy weather reduced household solar output and lifted demand.
  • Ukrenergo links the measures to damage from mass Russian missile and drone strikes and notes earlier planned limits for November 3 were canceled as conditions shifted.
