Residents of Kyiv and many regions of Left-Bank Ukraine are facing prolonged power outages until the end of the heating season. At the same time, the average outage duration can range from 8 to 16 hours per day.<\/p>\n
This information was announced by Volodymyr Omelchenko, Director of Energy Programs at the Razumkov Center, in a comment for the Kyiv24 TV channel.<\/p>\n
According to the expert, by the end of winter, 2-4 outages will occur each day in the capital and neighboring regions. This means that a stable electricity supply should be expected only at certain times.<\/p>\n
Omelchenko emphasized that the duration of the outages will depend on two main factors: the scale of new attacks and the speed of restoration of destroyed facilities. After massive shelling, the situation often becomes more complicated, but even temporary improvements in schedules during partial repairs are possible. In general, the energy system will remain vulnerable at least until spring.<\/p>\n
The most challenging situation is currently observed in the south of Ukraine. As a result of recent attacks, the enemy damaged more than 10 substations operated by Ukrenergo and several key facilities, particularly in the Odessa region, where infrastructure was destroyed.<\/p>\n
Omelchenko also noted that the Russian Federation has changed its attack tactics: previously, strikes were carried out across multiple regions, allowing it to offset losses partially. Currently, the focus of attention is on individual areas, which has led to more serious consequences for consumers.<\/p>\n
The Odesa region remains vulnerable due to its dependence on electricity supplies from other areas. Damage to substations here affects not only the electricity supply but also the operation of heating and water supply systems.<\/p>\n
However, energy professionals are making every effort to stabilize the situation, though a quick and complete recovery remains questionable given the scale of destruction and the system’s general instability in war conditions.<\/p>\n
It was previously reported that there are serious risks in the country’s energy system, and improvements should not be expected in the near future.<\/p>\n
In addition, it was announced that the outage schedule may become more predictable, and energy experts shared information about expected changes in the near future.<\/p>\n
The importance of following safety rules when turning on electrical appliances after the power supply is restored was also emphasized.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
