Details: Energy workers will begin emergency repairs as soon as the security situation allows.

Meanwhile, emergency power cuts are being implemented in the city of Kyiv and Kyiv Oblast due to equipment damage. Previously published schedules do not apply in areas affected by these emergency cuts.

Due to grid restrictions caused by Russian attacks, some regions are also experiencing scheduled hourly power cuts, while industrial and business consumers face power capacity restrictions.

Background:

• The day before, Ukrenergo announced scheduled hourly power cuts for 29 October.
• However, on the morning of 29 October, emergency power cuts were introduced in parts of Kyiv's Holosiivskyi and Solomianskyi districts.
