Details: Power outages, among other regions, are affecting consumers in Dnipropetrovsk, Odesa, Zaporizhzhia and Kharkiv oblasts.

One of the most challenging energy situations remains in the city of Kyiv and Kyiv Oblast.

Quote from Ukrenergo: "Emergency power cuts are currently being applied in some regions due to the difficult situation in the energy system caused by Russian attacks

Previously published rolling outage schedules by regional distribution companies are not in effect there."

More details: Electricity consumption increased by 4.5% on 21 January compared with the previous day due to reduced restrictions in certain regions.

"Please, wherever possible, run energy-heavy processes at night – after 23:00. Using electricity efficiently will help reduce the length of forced outages," Ukrenergo said.

Background: FerrexpoOne, a major mining group, is suspending operations due to power supply problems in Ukraine.
