Hourly power outages will be in effect in most regions of Ukraine on November 14. The restrictions will range from 1.5 to 3 queues for all categories of consumers, while schedules for limiting capacity have been planned for industry.
The reason is the damage to the energy system following the massive Russian missile and drone attacks. “The timing and scope of the restrictions may change,” Ukrenergo warned. The company said that energy workers were working around the clock to restore the damaged equipment and networks.
