Details: Some consumers in Zaporizhzhia and Sumy oblasts also lost power due to previous attacks. Repair teams are working wherever the security situation allows.

In addition, Chernihiv and Sumy oblasts face power outages due to bad weather. Consumers lost power in Kyiv due to technological disruptions, and repair works are underway.

The Ministry also reports that Ukrainian hydroelectric power plants in the Dnipro Cascade are operating at reduced capacity to mitigate the effects of the flooding caused by the explosion of the Kakhovka HPP and have been accumulating water in the upper reservoirs to form the necessary reserve for operation and power generation.
