Energy officials have identified the causes of the latest power outages in Odesa
Power outages continue in Odesa and the surrounding region following Russia’s attack on the local power grid. Although critical infrastructure and 227,000 households have already been restored to power, localized restrictions remain.
The main causes of potential outages are damage to the power grids (some equipment is still under repair, and power is being supplied via backup circuits) and increased consumption due to the extreme heat.
These disruptions are also affecting the region’s water supply. DTEK urges residents to reduce the load on the system and avoid turning on high-power electrical appliances simultaneously.
