In December, the local authorities reported that in Kyiv, the capital’s outdoor lighting system operates with an energy-saving mode – street lighting is not turned off completely: in some areas, its intensity is reduced to 30%. At the same time, according to “Kyivmisksvitlo”, the street lighting system occupies a very small share (less than 1%) of the capital’s total energy consumption.
In December, the government reviewed the lists of critical infrastructure facilities. As reported, 911 MW of electric power was released and added to the general network. This decision is expected to have the effect of reducing the duration of blackout schedules for people and industry.
The Cabinet of Ministers reported that two categories were removed from the lists – consumers with a capacity of less than 100 kW and objects to which a number of other consumers were connected, but this revision did not apply to base hospitals, life support facilities and enterprises of the defense-industrial complex.
Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion in February 2022, Russia has been striking Ukraine’s energy infrastructure. Since the beginning of the fall of 2025, Russian forces have intensified their attacks on the Ukrainian energy industry.
