After Ukraine’s energy system is stabilised, DTEK plans to resume the schedule of rolling blackouts that was in use prior to the Russian attack on 23 November.

Previously: As of 17:20 on 24 November, 70% of Kyiv households remain in an emergency blackout. The supply of water has been restored in all of Kyiv’s districts.

As of 19.00 Thursday, electricity producers met the needs of 50 percent of the power consumption in Ukraine.
