Details: "Energy workers are working to carry out restoration work as quickly as possible," she said.

Yukhymchuk also noted that the Ministry of Energy together with the State Energy Supervision Inspectorate and oblast military administrations is working to free up additional capacity and ensure a fairer and more balanced distribution of electricity. This concerns regulating the issue of disconnecting consumers who are supplied from networks of critical infrastructure facilities that are not included in hourly outage schedules.
