Ukrenergo Keeps Nationwide Rolling Outages as Demand Rises, Sets All‑Day Limits for Saturday

Ukrenergo says the restrictions follow recent Russian strikes on energy infrastructure, with colder weather pushing up demand.

Overview

  • Hourly rolling cuts of roughly 0.5–2.5 blocks are in force across all regions on Nov. 28, alongside power‑limitation schedules for industry and businesses.
  • Electricity consumption at 9:30 a.m. on Nov. 28 was 2.3% higher than the same time a day earlier, which the operator links to lower temperatures and widespread cloud cover.
  • The daily peak load on Nov. 27 was 1.4% above Nov. 26 after a reduction in outage volumes allowed higher usage.
  • Emergency shutoffs were applied on Nov. 27 in Sumy, Kharkiv and Poltava regions due to system conditions following recent attacks.
  • For Saturday, Nov. 29, Ukrenergo will apply hourly outages and industrial curtailments nationwide from 00:00 to 23:59, citing the ongoing effects of missile and drone strikes on the grid.
