Details: Nevertheless, the company noted that scheduled power outage timetables are in force on Kyiv's right bank.

Background:

• On the morning of 30 December, residents of the capital began receiving notifications that emergency power outages had been introduced in Kyiv.
• On the night of 26-27 December, a nationwide air-raid warning was issued across Ukraine.
• Earlier reports said that as a result of another Russian attack, a significant number of consumers in Kyiv and Kyiv oblast were left without electricity.
• As of the morning of 28 December, DTEK energy workers had restored power supply to around one million consumers in Kyiv and Kyiv Oblast.
• In the meantime, several attempts were made to switch Kyiv's left bank from emergency outages to scheduled ones, but as of 29 December this had not been possible.
