Background:

  • Ukraine can endure the winter without blackouts at temperatures of zero degrees Celsius and above.
  • Ukrenergo, Ukraine's electricity transmission system operator, regards the scenario of a catastrophe caused by a lack of electricity in winter as pessimistic, but winter will not be easy.
  • Generation deficits and blackouts are inevitable, and in the best-case scenario, there will be no electricity for up to 5 hours a day.
