Kiev: Ukraine’s state energy company Ukrainergo has said it will impose power supply restrictions on businesses and industry due to power shortages caused by Russian missile attacks.
“The electricity limitation program will be implemented from 6 pm to 10 pm, which will not affect critical infrastructure and defense enterprises,” Ukrainergo said in a statement on Telegram. The power supply restriction for industrial consumers in the district will remain in force round the clock.
In addition, power outages will affect private homes in the eastern Kharkiv area. According to Ukrainergo, Ukraine is importing electricity from Europe for the second consecutive day to cover the energy deficit. Last week, Ukrainian Prime Minister Denis Shmyhal said Ukraine had lost more than 8 GW of capacity in recent months due to Russian attacks.
