Energy Minister Denys Shmyhal said that in the coming days, blackouts in Ukraine will become predictable. Emergency shutdowns will gradually be replaced by hourly shifts.
The situation in the power system remains difficult due to a significant power deficit. However, thanks to the coordinated work of Ukrenergo and distribution system operators, there is a tendency towards partial stabilization. “Regarding electricity supply. We expect to gradually move from emergency to hourly outages in the coming days. Our task is to reach the forecasted schedules with the volume of up to 3-4 shifts,” said Shmyhal.
He added that additional reserve brigades are being formed to strengthen work and control the energy supply. The minister also talked about distributed generation: “We conducted a full verification of cogeneration plants in Kyiv and the region. Their total number and technical efficiency were clearly determined.”
According to Shmyhal, currently only a third of the commissioned capacities actually supply energy to the grid. “We are cooperating with local authorities on this issue. All installations must work,” he emphasized.
The goal of such steps is to make outage schedules predictable and give people the opportunity to plan their lives even in conditions of power supply restrictions.
