Electricity consumption has increased with the start of the workweek. The system deficit remains significant, and scheduled power outages are in force in all oblasts of Ukraine.

Details: Ukrenergo notes that all oblast power distribution companies have been notified of consumption limits that are in force throughout the day, meaning that scheduled power outages are underway. As of the morning of 30 January, no emergency blackouts caused by exceeding the limits have been applied yet. However, Ukrenergo emphasises that if the limits are exceeded in oblasts, it may happen.

The repair of energy infrastructure facilities damaged during the massive attack on 26 January is underway. Several units of the power plants were shut down for repairs over the weekend. Ukrenergo stressed that after each subsequent Russian attack on the energy infrastructure, fixing the damage becomes more difficult and takes longer.

Background:

High-voltage network facilities and power plants have been damaged in 13 missile and 15 drone attacks by Russian forces. The power grid is still recovering from the attacks, which damaged units at the power plants. As a result, electricity production at the operating power plants cannot fully cover consumption.
