Ukrenergo has implemented rolling blackouts for October 19
The national energy company “Ukrenergo” announced that it would be forced to implement electricity consumption restrictions in several regions of Ukraine on Monday, October 19.
The measures will be in effect from 6:00 a.m. to 11:59 p.m. and will include power restriction schedules for industrial enterprises, as well as hourly blackouts ranging from 1 to 2 stages for all other categories of consumers.
The main reason for the mandatory outages was the severe impact of massive Russian attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure. Energy officials are urging citizens to monitor updates on the official websites of local distribution system operators and to use electricity as sparingly as possible during the hours when it is available.
