Due to technological disruptions, substations, household consumers, and industrial facilities in Mykolaiv Oblast experienced power outages. The power supply was restored using a backup system.

This morning, the overhead line was switched off again for technical reasons, cutting off power to household and industrial consumers in the cities of Kherson and Mykolaiv, as well as parts of Mykolaiv and Kherson oblasts. Work is currently underway to restore the power supply.

Power engineers are working to deal with the causes of the outage. All consumers should have power within a few hours.
