DTЕК added that the reason for the restrictions is the damage to energy facilities caused by Russian missile and drone attacks in November and December of this year.
What is Known About the New Schedules
Last week, instructions on power outage schedules were updated in Ukraine. Over the next few days, distribution system operators (DSOs, or more commonly known as regional energy companies) adapted their schedules to the new requirements.
What has changed for residential consumers:
- each queue is additionally divided into two subqueues
- up to 30 minutes are allocated for disconnection and reconnection
- the schedules across all regions are being standardized
Each group in each region, as determined by the regional energy companies, will receive a specific time when restrictions will apply.
However, since it is impossible to equalize the duration for each group throughout the day, the final adjustments will occur at the end of the week.
Previously, Telegrаph reported that starting in 2025, the Ministry of Energy plans to change the procedure for implementing stabilization power outage schedules. All regions may be divided into several zones.
