More than 1,200 consumers remain without power in Chernihiv Oblast due to the attack. Power engineers of oblasts’ energy companies are waiting for the military's permission to restore power. Also this morning, consumers in Kherson Oblast were left without power as a result of attacks, although the power supply was restored only yesterday. Power engineers are working to restore it," the state-owned company said.

Details: At the same time, electricity production now fully covers consumption. Thanks to the flood, which is still ongoing, hydroelectric power plants continue to operate actively throughout the day. Wind and solar power plants are also operating seasonally.

Electricity exports to Moldova and Poland continue. There are no imports to Ukraine, Ukrenergo added.

"Active repair work continues at all facilities of the backbone networks damaged by Russian attacks.

The priority is to restore the reliability of energy supply to consumers, which requires significant resources and time," the company concluded.
