All over Ukraine, electricity blackout schedules continue to be applied against the background of a growing power deficit of up to 30% due to accidents and increased consumption, Ukrenergo reported .

“As of 11:00 a.m. on November 29, electricity producers provide 70% of electricity consumption in Ukraine. The current capacity deficit is 30%,” the report said.
Details
As noted, the increase in power deficit is caused by the emergency shutdown of units at several power plants, which occurred on Monday morning, as well as the further increase in consumption due to worsening weather conditions.
As indicated, Ukrenergo provides distribution system operators (oblenergo) with consumption limits for each region, which cannot be exceeded. Outage schedules are drawn up and directly applied by oblenergo. At the same time, the restrictions should be applied evenly among consumers, the company noted.
“The general deficit in the energy system is the result of seven waves of Russian missile attacks on the country’s energy infrastructure,” the company emphasized.
Addition
On November 23, the Russian army’s massive missile attack on Ukraine led to the temporary blackout of all nuclear power plants, most thermal and hydroelectric power plants. Electricity transmission facilities were also affected. There were power outages in many cities of Ukraine, including the capital.
