Over 300,000 consumers left without electricity across Ukraine due to bad weather
The relevant statement was made by the Ukrainian Energy Ministry, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.
“Due to adverse weather conditions, power supply services were interrupted in 1,045 settlements across 14 regions, such as Vinnytsia, Volyn, Dnipropetrovsk, Zhytomyr, Zakarpattia, Ivano-Frankivsk, Kyiv, Lviv, Rivne, Sumy, Ternopil, Khmelnytskyi, Chernivtsi and Chernihiv. A total of 306,000 consumers were left without electricity,” the report states.
The most affected region was Khmelnytskyi, where 400 settlements faced power supply interruptions. The interstate power line running to Hungary was also temporarily cut off.
Meanwhile, according to the ministry, Ukraine’s electricity production volumes are enough to meet the consumer needs.
Repair works are underway.
