Overview
- Ukraine’s state grid operator, Ukrenergo, reported new outages after overnight strikes damaged infrastructure in Kharkiv, Donetsk, Dnipropetrovsk, Zaporizhzhia and Poltava.
- Emergency crews have started repairs where security conditions allow, according to the operator’s update shared on Facebook and reported by Ukrinform.
- Electricity use measured 2.7% higher than the previous day at 9:30 a.m., which the operator linked to cloudy, rainy weather cutting output from home solar panels.
- Ukrenergo asked households in all regions to save power during the evening peak from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m., including by avoiding running several high‑load appliances at once.
- The operator said no planned shutdowns were scheduled for the day, reflecting a focus on targeted repairs and demand management after repeated attacks on the power grid.
