Several operators of the electricity distribution system (EDS) have reported the cancellation of the hourly power outage schedules (HPOS) introduced by NEC "Ukrenergo" from 6:00 AM to 11:00 PM on Tuesday for one or two queues simultaneously.
According to monitoring conducted by Energy Reform on official information resources of the EDS, the cancellation of schedules from 7:00 AM "until further notice from 'Ukrenergo'" has been announced for this time by "Volyn", "Rivne", "Lviv", "Transcarpathia", "Precarpathia", and "Ternopiloblenergo", where outages continue to be applied only in a few communities of the Chortkiv district due to network restrictions.
In these same regions, the schedules were also canceled on Monday.
As explained by informed representatives of the energy sector, this is related to the peculiarities of electricity transmission following the massive attack by the Russian Federation on the energy system on Sunday, November 17.
Other EDS operators have not reported any changes to the outage schedules.
As previously reported, "Ukrenergo" ordered the implementation of HPOS from 6:00 AM to 11:00 PM on Tuesday evening. From 6:00 AM to 7:00 AM, from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM, and from 6:00 PM to 11:00 PM, one queue will be disconnected according to the schedules, while at other times – two.
According to information on the DTEK "Odeskie Elektrosieti" website, emergency outages have been in effect in Odessa and the region since the morning of November 17. The most challenging situation with power supply is in the regional center following the attack.
