Details: "After emergency restoration works, one unit at one of the thermal power plants was put back into operation. Electricity is also being imported to Ukraine. However, the available amount of electricity produced is still insufficient to cover consumption in full," the statement says.

The electricity produced is distributed to energy and critical infrastructure (water utilities, boiler houses, hospitals), as well as to cover the needs of industry and the population.

All oblast power distribution companies have been given daily consumption limits, but emergency blackouts are still in place in Odesa and the surrounding areas.

Seven crews of Ukrenergo and a crew of DTEK Odesa Power Grids are working around the clock to repair the damage in the region. 

"If there are no new enemy attacks, we expect to return to the outage schedules that were in effect until 4 February by the weekend," Ukrenergo forecasts.
