The company also reported that electricity consumption was 9.7% lower compared to the same time the previous day (Thursday) as of 05:00 on 29 November. Ukrenergo attributed this decrease to widespread power-saving measures.

Mykolaivoblenergo stated that approximately 70% of Mykolaiv Oblast, including the city of Mykolaiv, was left without power. However, in areas where electricity has been restored, scheduled hourly blackouts are now being implemented [Mykolaivoblenergo is a joint-stock company engaged in the distribution, transportation and supply of electricity in the Mykolaiv Oblast – ed.].

Background: Power enginners will implement up to three stages of power outages throughout the day on Friday, 29 November.
