Overview
- Ukrenergo reported on Wednesday that recent Russian drone and artillery strikes left consumers without power in Odesa, Dnipropetrovsk, Donetsk, Kherson and Kharkiv oblasts.
- Emergency repair teams have begun restoration work where frontline security conditions allow but some outages remain unresolved this morning.
- Electricity demand spiked on Tuesday evening because of high temperatures and then fell, with national consumption 3.3% lower at 09:30 on Wednesday compared with the same time the day before.
- Ukrenergo urged people to move active use to 10:00–17:00 to take advantage of industrial solar output and to limit high-power appliances from 19:00–22:00, while Odesa was asked to conserve power all day.
- No nationwide consumption restrictions were scheduled for Wednesday, but localized outages and security limits on repairs could prolong interruptions for affected households and businesses.
