According to its message on the Telegram channel on Friday, the power outage of a significant number of consumers caused damage to energy facilities in several regions as a result of a large-scale missile and drone attack by the Russian Federation.
"To stabilize the situation in the power system in some of the mentioned regions, as well as in Zaporizhia and Dnipropetrovsk regions, emergency shutdowns have been introduced," Ukrenergo noted.
The company also indicated that due to the consequences of previous shelling by Russian aggressors, Chernihivoblenergo has introduced a schedule of hourly shutdowns in the amount of one turn.
"Energy specialists are doing everything possible to restore the equipment damaged by Russian shelling to operation as soon as possible. Emergency restoration work is ongoing in each of the regions affected by enemy attacks," the company said.
