Details: Power consumption in the country remained at the same level as on 28 January. However, the volume of electricity generated in the system decreased due to the repair of one of the TPP units. As a result, all oblast power distribution companies have been informed of slightly reduced consumption limits that are in force throughout the day.

Each oblast power distribution company creates a schedule of planned hourly power outages to ensure that oblast consumption stays within the approved limit.

Ukrenergo added that the repair of energy infrastructure facilities damaged during the massive attack on 26 January is underway. Emergency power outages continue to be in effect in Odesa Oblast. The repairs of the planned power supply system for Odesa Oblast are underway.
