Major power cuts introduced in Kyiv and the region following strike on energy facility

The consequences of the enemy attack on a critical energy infrastructure facility in Kyiv have led to mass power outages for consumers. On the evening of 15 October, electricity supply is absent in certain districts of the capital and Kyiv Oblast.

System status and restoration plans

Representatives of Ukrenergo stated that energy workers are waiting for the air raid alert to be lifted in order to begin assessing the scale of the damage and starting emergency repair work.

Appeal to residents

The company emphasised the need to use resources economically where electricity is still available. The official request to citizens is as follows:

"Якщо зараз у вас є електроенергія, будь ласка, споживайте її максимально ощадливо та обмежте користування потужними електроприладами. Зменшення навантаження на обладнання, що залишається в роботі, дозволить уникнути додаткових вимушених відключень та швидше повернути стабільне живлення усіх споживачів", - зазначили в "Укренерго". ("If you currently have electricity, please use it as economically as possible and limit the use of high-power appliances. Reducing the load on the equipment that remains in operation will help avoid additional forced outages and restore stable power supply to all consumers faster," said Ukrenergo.)
