Overview
- Scheduled capacity restrictions will apply across all oblasts to industrial and business consumers from 16:00 to 20:00 on Oct. 21.
- Chernihiv city and much of the region are without electricity after a mass attack, with reconnection to begin once conditions are deemed safe.
- Emergency repairs are delayed because ongoing air alerts and Russian strike drones are preventing crews from accessing damaged sites.
- At 09:30, national electricity use was 1.4% lower than on Oct. 20, which the operator linked to strong household solar generation in sunny regions.
- Despite the dip, overall demand remains high, and Ukrenergo asks households and companies to avoid running multiple high‑power appliances through 22:00; similar nationwide limits were in place on Oct. 20.
