Power Outages in Ukraine Due to Attacks
As of the morning of January 27, Ukraine is facing new power outages in four regions. Severe weather has left over 500 settlements without electricity. This was reported by the National Energy Company "Ukrenergo" on social media.
The enemy has carried out missile and drone strikes on the energy infrastructure of several regions. Consequently, new outages have been reported in Kharkiv, Odesa, Donetsk, and Dnipropetrovsk regions. Emergency recovery operations are underway wherever the security situation permits.
Due to adverse weather conditions, including severe icing, over 500 settlements in Vinnytsia, Ternopil, Khmelnytskyi, Chernivtsi, Kirovohrad, Sumy, and Kyiv regions have been left without power. Utility crews have already started repairs on damaged power lines.
Because of the situation caused by Russian attacks, emergency power cuts are being implemented in certain regions. In other areas, there are power limitation schedules for industries and hourly disconnection schedules for residents.
Electricity consumption as of 9:30 on Tuesday exceeded the previous day's level by 1.8% due to fewer power cuts in specific areas.
"Throughout the day, there is a need for energy conservation in all regions of Ukraine. Please limit the use of high-power electrical appliances as much as possible. If possible, move energy-intensive processes to nighttime hours – after 23:00," Ukrenergo added.
Meanwhile, the Ministry of Energy reports that there is a significant deficit of electricity in Kyiv and the Kyiv region, and emergency power outages are being applied.
Additionally, consumers in frontline and border areas remain without power for an extended period, where power restoration is complicated by ongoing combat operations.
On the morning of January 27, Russian troops attacked an infrastructure facility in the Lviv region.
