Situation with power supplies improves in most Ukrainian regions - Energy Ministry

This was reported by the press service of the Energy Ministry, as seen by Ukrinform.

"Currently, active work is underway to restore damaged generation facilities, trunk and distribution networks, which is quite time- and resource-consuming. In the front-line zone, repair works on some energy facilities are impossible during active hostilities, which complicates the situation with the restoration of power supply," noted Energy Minister German Galushchenko.

It is noted that due to the increase in demand for electricity as a result of the cold weather, schedules of power outages will be applied in order to prevent accidents due to the high load on the power system.

"However, thanks to the control measures taken, today the schedules of these shutdowns are more balanced and fair," Galushchenko emphasized.

As reported, the energy system of Ukraine was subjected to 11 missile and 14 drone attacks by the enemy. Damage to generation facilities and trunk networks is complex and large-scale.

Massive Russian attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure have been ongoing since October 10.
