Should we expect outages on September 14: Ukrenergo and DTEK made statements.
Ukrenergo does not expect power supply restrictions on September 14
The National Energy Company "Ukrenergo" reported that no measures to restrict power supply are expected in Ukraine on September 14. This is stated in the company's message of September 13.
DTEK, Ukraine's largest private energy holding, confirmed this information, stating that "no light restrictions are planned on September 14."
Despite positive forecasts, "Ukrenergo" calls on consumers to use electricity sparingly. In particular, it is recommended to use powerful electrical appliances during peak solar activity hours – from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM.
The company reminds that the Ukrainian power system is still recovering after nine massive attacks from Russia. There remains a capacity deficit in the system, and emergency and planned repairs continue at energy facilities.
To overcome the deficit in the power system, at the request of "Ukrenergo", emergency power supply to Ukraine is being carried out from the energy systems of Poland, Slovakia, and Romania. There are also plans to import electricity from Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Hungary, and Moldova with a total volume of 18,204 MWh, with a maximum capacity at peak hours up to 1,485 MW.
Settlements in various regions of Ukraine are without power due to hostilities and bad weather
As of the morning of September 13, due to hostilities and bad weather, 562 settlements in various regions of Ukraine were completely or partially without power. In particular, new cases of power outages were recorded in the Donetsk, Kherson, Kharkiv, Odesa, and Ivano-Frankivsk regions.
