- Over the past 24 hours, the enemy continued attacks on energy infrastructure facilities in a number of regions. As of the morning, consumers remain without electricity in Kharkiv and Donetsk oblasts. In Chernihiv oblast, including the city of Slavutych, power restoration works are ongoing.

- In Odesa oblast, restoration works continue following previous large-scale attacks. Recovery efforts are underway everywhere the security situation allows.

- To stabilise the operation of the power system, emergency outage schedules have been introduced in several regions. Hourly outage schedules and capacity limitation schedules for businesses continue to be in effect nationwide.

- Due to lower temperatures and increased consumption, the need for rational use of electricity remains. Energy-efficient consumption helps reduce the load on the power system.

More details on the situation in the power system are available in the briefing by the Deputy Minister of Energy of Ukraine, Roman Andarak.
