According to the report, for the population, hourly shutdown schedules of 2 to 4 shifts will be in effect from 00:00 to 23:59, at the same time, capacity limitation schedules will be in effect for industry.
Ukrenergo reminds that the reason for the introduction of restrictions is the consequences of previous massive Russian missile and drone attacks on energy facilities.
The operator recorded eight massive Russian air attacks on the power system since the beginning of the year.
Today, measures to limit consumption in the amount of 2.5 to 4 shifts are in effect throughout Ukraine.

Since the beginning of autumn, the Russian military has intensified its attacks on the Ukrainian energy and gas infrastructure, which supplies people with gas during the heating season.
In Ukraine, due to damage to energy facilities as a result of Russian shelling, hourly blackout schedules and capacity limitation schedules are used for industrial consumers and businesses.
On October 30, the UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine stated that due to Russian attacks there is a serious risk of dangerous consequences for civilians this winter, including long interruptions in heating, electricity and water supply. According to the UN, such interruptions will have a particularly painful effect on vulnerable groups of the population, such as the elderly, persons with disabilities and families with small children.
