Details: Rolling power outages are currently being implemented across all Ukrainian oblasts in 2.5-3 queues. Power restrictions will be applied to industry and businesses nationwide around the clock.

Ukrenergo urges consumers to minimise their use of high-power electrical appliances.

Quote: "Where possible, shift energy-intensive processes to nighttime hours, after 22:00. Using electricity more efficiently will help reduce the duration of rolling blackouts."

For reference: Ukrenergo defines a "queue" as a group of consumers and businesses using a specific amount of megawatts. The Dispatch Centre sets the number of queues needed across oblasts to address energy deficits. Critical infrastructure and industrial companies that import over 80% of their energy cannot be disconnected, according to a Ukrainian Cabinet resolution.
