Emergency power outages introduced in three districts of Kyiv region following attacks on energy facilities

Emergency power outages have been introduced in three districts of the Kyiv region — Fastiv, Bila Tserkva, and Obukhiv. According to DTEK Kyiv Regional Grids, the cause was damage to energy infrastructure as a result of a Russian attack. Stabilization restriction schedules continue to operate in the rest of the region.

Emergency outages in three districts

Power engineers clarify that due to infrastructure damage, routine restriction schedules are not being applied precisely in the Fastiv, Bila Tserkva, and Obukhiv districts of the region. In these districts, the outages are of an emergency nature and are introduced as needed to maintain the stability of the energy system.

Stabilization schedules in the rest of the territory

At the same time, previously announced stabilization outage schedules continue to apply to residents of other districts in the Kyiv region. This means that in most districts, restrictions remain in a planned mode, while the emergency mode has been introduced selectively — only where damage has been recorded.

Work at damage sites

Specialists are already working at the sites of damage to eliminate the consequences of the shelling as quickly as possible and restore electricity to consumers' homes. Power engineers note that the timelines for restoring supply depend on the extent of the damage and conditions at the facilities.

Context: escalation over the past weekend

Recall that over the past weekend, the situation in the region's energy system had already escalated. On Saturday, November 7, emergency power outages were introduced in the Kyiv region, causing stabilization schedules to be temporarily suspended. The very next day, Sunday, November 8, emergency blackouts affected a broader geography — emergency outages were introduced immediately in Kyiv, the Kyiv region, and Dnipro, forcing power engineers to temporarily cancel the usual restriction schedules.

Call for careful consumption

«If you currently have electricity, please consume it as sparingly as possible. Every turned-off appliance helps maintain the balance of the energy system,» the company urged. Power engineers recommend following official announcements from oblenergo as the situation may change.
