23 October , 2022  

DTEK Kyiv Grids announced the cancellation of stabilization power outages in Kyiv by Sunday morning.
DTEK Kyiv Electric Grids returned electricity to all consumers who were subjected to stabilization blackouts by order of NPC Ukrenergo from 09:20 on October 22 to 00:36 on October 23. All houses in Kyiv with light,” the company said on its website on Sunday.
For his part, Serhiy Kovalenko, CEO of the energy supplier YASNO, on his Facebook, among other things, announced the cancellation of shutdowns in Kyiv.
“End energy alarm in Kyiv,” he wrote, advising to keep an eye on the company’s announcements to have time to prepare for possible outages.
DTEK Kyiv Regional Electric Grids and DTEK Donetsk Grids also reported that by Sunday morning all their clients, to whom stabilization restrictions were applied by order of Ukrenergo, also had electricity due to their cancellation.
On Sunday morning, the head of the Rivne OVA, Vitaliy Koval, said that during the night, power engineers managed to connect most of the subscribers to the power supply, to whom it was limited due to Russian attacks on the power system. “Now we are working on connecting another 24,750 subscribers. These are, in particular, residents of the village of Zarya, Alexandria, Klevan, Orzhei, Shpanov, Shubkov and others,” he wrote on his Facebook.
At the same time, all publications continue to call on Ukrainians, both the population and businesses, to save electricity as much as possible and not create additional load on the networks during peak hours.
As reported, as a result of damage to the energy infrastructure of Ukraine as a result of the morning large-scale air attacks of Russian troops on October 22, NPC Ukrenergo was forced to impose power supply restrictions in Kyiv and ten regions. According to the company, the scale of destruction on that day is comparable to or greater than that inflicted on the energy system on October 10-12. Earlier, Energy Minister German Galushchenko said that Russian air attacks on energy systems, which have intensified since October 10, have damaged 30-40% of the total national energy infrastructure. According to his calculations, approximately half of the thermal generation capacity was damaged, due to which Ukraine lost 4,000 MW of capacity.
