- As a result of hostilities and shelling of energy infrastructure facilities, some consumers in the Dnipropetrovsk Region, Zaporizhzhia Region, Kharkiv Region, and Chernihiv Region temporarily remain without electricity supply.

- Energy workers are operating in an enhanced mode to restore electricity supply to all consumers as quickly as possible.

- Today, from 17:00 to 22:00, hourly outage schedules and capacity limitation schedules for businesses and industry will be applied in all regions of Ukraine. Up-to-date information on restrictions is available on the official resources of regional distribution system operators.

- Consumers are kindly asked, where possible, to use electricity sparingly during peak consumption hours in the morning and evening, which will help reduce the load on the system.
