Recently, there have been no blackout schedules in Ukraine, as was the case in the summer, but with the approach of winter, the Ministry of Energy reminded that rational consumption will help energy companies keep the energy system balanced.
According to the Ministry of Energy, since October 2022, Russia has carried out more than a thousand strikes on Ukrainian energy infrastructure facilities, this year alone 9 GW of generating capacity was lost due to strikes.
Earlier, the Minister of Energy Herman Galushchenko stated that Ukraine is able to go through the winter of 2024-2025 without power outages, if the forces of the Russian Federation do not succeed in destroying the critical energy infrastructure facilities that survived the previous attacks.
On the night of November 17, Russian troops launched a massive combined attack on the facilities of the energy sector of Ukraine, using, according to the Air Force of the Armed Forces, 120 missiles and 90 unmanned aerial vehicles.
