Overview
- Ukraine’s grid operator reported new outages in Donetsk, Dnipropetrovsk, Kharkiv and Kherson after strikes on energy sites, and crews started repairs where conditions are safe.
- Ukrenergo said no mandatory power-use restrictions are planned and asked people to move energy‑heavy tasks to the late morning and early afternoon.
- Households were urged to avoid running high‑power appliances during the evening peak from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. to ease strain on the grid.
- Electricity use at 9:30 a.m. was 14.7% lower than the same time on the previous workday, a drop linked to warmer weather and stronger output from home solar panels.
- Earlier reports of outages in Sumy and drone strikes on energy sites in Mykolaiv underscore that repeated attacks keep the grid at risk even when supply looks stable.
