Russia continues to attack Ukraine’s energy infrastructure relentlessly. Damage to the power grid caused by these attacks has reduced the system’s ability to transmit electricity, making restrictions necessary.

This is a necessary step to prevent overloading the grid and protect the power system from large-scale emergencies.

Why Are Outage Schedules Introduced, and What Determines Them?

First Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine – Minister of Energy Denys Shmyhal visited Ukrenergo substations and other electricity generation facilities in Kyiv and Kyiv region that have been repeatedly targeted by Russian attacks. He inspected the damage caused by the latest strikes and reviewed the progress of repair work.

According to Denys Shmyhal, repairs at damaged energy facilities continue whenever the security situation allows. The Minister of Energy also thanked the energy workers who are working around the clock to restore electricity supply.

- As a result of hostilities and Russian attacks on energy infrastructure, some consumers in Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia, Sumy and Kharkiv regions remain temporarily without electricity. Where the security situation allows, repair crews are already working to restore power. Energy workers are doing everything possible to reconnect Ukrainian households as quickly as possible.

Thanks to contributions from international partners to the Ukraine Energy Support Fund, several Ukrainian regions have received more than EUR 7.6 million worth of equipment needed to restore and strengthen energy infrastructure.

The deliveries include power transformers, disconnectors, circuit breakers, insulators, cables and other equipment. Energy companies in Poltava, Kyiv, Dnipropetrovsk, Chernihiv, Kharkiv, Kherson, Lviv, Sumy and other regions have received the supplies.

From January to early October 2026, 55 healthcare facilities began generating their own electricity under the “Ray of Hope” project. The total installed capacity of the commissioned solar power plants amounts to 4,100 kW.

A further 128 projects at healthcare facilities are currently at various stages of implementation.

The commissioning of these systems at 55 healthcare facilities was made possible by international support. Germany funded installations at 38 facilities, Sweden supported eight, the United Kingdom five, the European Union two, Belgium one and Canada one.
