Ukrenergo also noted that, due to damage to energy equipment, electricity capacity restriction schedules for industrial consumers and hourly power outage schedules (affecting two to four groups) for other categories of consumers will remain in force in some regions until the end of the day.
As previously reported, around 150,000 consumers were left without electricity due to an accident at a power supply facility in Chernihiv, Slavutych, and the Koriukivka and Chernihiv districts.
