Ukraine has introduced nationwide restrictions on electricity use, enforcing eight-hour daily limits following severe damage to power infrastructure.
Ukraine's Energy Ministry on Thursday announced new measures to stabilise the country’s power grid, imposing consumption limits across all regions. According to Ukrenergo, hourly outage schedules and capacity limitation schedules for industrial consumers will be in effect from 08:00 to 19:00.
The decision follows widespread power outages that began on 10 October and have since intensified, disrupting supply in multiple regions, including Kyiv. Authorities reported significant damage to the nation’s electrical networks and other critical utilities.
Energy Minister Svitlana Grinchuk described the situation as "extremely challenging," citing continued strikes that have further strained energy facilities. "Russia continues its energy terror. At night, Ukraine's energy system suffered another massive combined attack with missiles and drones. As a result of the strike, new damage to the energy infrastructure was recorded. Restoration work will begin as soon as the security situation allows," Grinchuk said.
Officials have expanded the use of both emergency and planned rolling blackouts in an effort to prevent a total collapse of the system. The government has urged citizens to conserve electricity and limit consumption during peak hours as repair efforts continue.
