Details: "UAV attacks on highway network facilities in the central region, which took place on the night of 18-19 December, as well as artillery shelling in Ukraine’s east, led to further damage to power infrastructure and deterioration of the energy supply situation, in particular in the central region and the city of Kyiv," the business noted.
Ukrenergo expects that today [20 December] it will be possible to turn on certain equipment that will slightly increase the level of power supply reliability. Therefore, it will reduce the capacity deficit in the capital's power hub and let Ukrenergo connect more consumers.
"Repair crews of Ukrenergo, generation and distribution system operators are making every effort to improve the supply of electricity," the business emphasised.
Background: Emergency power outages continue in Kyiv as a result of Russian attacks; the capital’s authorities warned citizens of possible water supply interruptions within two hours due to maintenance works in the city.
