Quote: "As a result of the strikes, the energy system is operating at the limit of its capacity, and some facilities are undergoing emergency repairs."

Details: Dispatchers have to apply emergency power outages to prevent network overloads.

DTEK noted that repair crews are working to restore damaged equipment. Repairs at some facilities are expected to be completed in the coming days, which could give grounds to expect an improvement in the situation.

Background: Ukraine is approaching a humanitarian catastrophe after months of Russian air strikes on the energy system, and any future peace agreement must include an end to attacks on energy infrastructure.
