The situation in Kharkiv Oblast remains dire, with over 18,000 households still cut off from power. Grid restrictions have been imposed on 120,000 consumers in Kharkiv.

Background: Oleh Syniehubov, Head of Kharkiv Oblast Military Administration, has issued updated schedules for rolling power outages in Kharkiv and Kharkiv Oblast from 1 to 7 April.

The city of Kharkiv is being supplied with power from other regions of Ukraine after the local thermal power plant, Kharkiv TPP-5, was damaged in a Russian missile attack. It will take years to rebuild the plant.
