A major power grid failure occurred in the Chernihiv region

In the Chernihiv region, approximately 150,000 customers were left without power due to an accident in the Ukrenergo grid. The power went out in Chernihiv and the surrounding area, as well as in Slavutych. Utility workers are already working to restore power as quickly as possible.

 

A failure in Ukrenergo’s power grid led to a widespread power outage in the Chernihiv region. About 150,000 customers were left without electricity. The problem affected more than just Chernihiv. Customers in the Chernihiv district, as well as in Slavutych, were left without power.

Power company officials noted that specialists are already working to restore power. At this time, the exact causes of the failure and the timeline for full restoration have not been reported. Therefore, residents of the affected areas will have to wait for further updates from the power company.

Where There Is No Electricity

Chernihiv and the settlements in the district were most severely affected by the power outage. Slavutych also lost power. Due to the scale of the outage, power restoration may take place in stages. Utility workers must first locate and repair the damage to the grid, after which they will gradually restore power to consumers. “Chernihivoblenergo” has not specified exactly when power will be restored to all homes. The situation will depend on how quickly specialists can complete the emergency repairs. “Chernihivoblenergo” reported the outage.

Industrial and commercial customers who meet at least 80% of their own energy needs from designated sources will not be subject to power rationing measures.
