As a result of the situation in the power system caused by the Russian shelling, the schedules of outages with the volume of one queue are in effect in most regions of Ukraine, the company “Ukrenergo” reported on November 7

“Also between 08:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. capacity limitation schedules are applied for industry and business,” adds Ukrenergo.

The company also indicated that a significant number of consumers in Dnipropetrovsk region and Donetsk region remain without power due to Russian strikes.

“Emergency recovery work continues in all regions affected by shelling. Energy companies are doing everything they can to restore all consumers as soon as possible,” experts note.

The company emphasizes that electricity consumption shows a growing trend.

“As of 6:30 a.m. today, November 7, it was 1.9% higher than at this time the previous day, Thursday. Yesterday, November 6, the daily maximum consumption was recorded in the morning. It was 4.9% higher than the maximum of the previous day – on Wednesday,” the report said.

During the fall, the Russian military intensified its attacks on the Ukrainian energy and gas infrastructure, which supplies people with gas during the heating season.

In August, the Ministry of Energy reported that since March 2025, Russian forces have carried out more than 2,900 attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure.
