Last day, emergency power supply from Poland was used - MoE

According to Ukrinform, this was reported by the Ministry of Energy.

"No power cuts are planned for Saturday, 10 August. Power engineers continue to keep the situation in the power system stable," the statement said.

It is noted that over the past day, emergency power supply from Poland was used, and no electricity exports are taking place or are expected.

"Due to massive Russian attacks on the Ukrainian power system, 9 GW of generating capacity was lost. The enemy continues to shell the energy infrastructure, substations and power lines come under fire every day, which leads to restrictions in electricity transmission," the Ministry said and assured that the energy sector is making every effort to keep the situation stable.

The Ministry of Energy asks citizens to use electricity rationally and economically, especially during peak hours - from 7:00 to 11:00 and from 17:00 to 22:00. This helps to ensure the stable operation of the power system.
