Ukrenergo: Power outages reported in six regions due to attacks on energy infrastructure

According to Ukrinform, the NPC Ukrenergo reported this on Facebook.

“As a result of Russian attacks on energy infrastructure facilities, as of this morning, users in the Chernihiv, Dnipropetrovsk, Sumy, Kharkiv, Odesa, and Khmelnytskyi regions are without power. Emergency repair work is already underway wherever safety conditions currently allow,” the statement reads.

As of 9:30 a.m. on Friday, electricity consumption is 3.2% lower than the previous day. This is due to clear weather in most regions, which increases the efficiency of residential solar power plants.

"Given the weather conditions, it is advisable to shift active energy consumption today to the period when solar power plants are most productive, from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. In the evening hours, please do not turn on several powerful electrical appliances at the same time from 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM," the power system operator emphasizes.

As reported, on May 13–14, the Russians carried out another massive attack, targeting energy facilities among other things. The attack caused power outages in Kyiv and 11 regions.
