On November 8, power consumption restrictions will be forcibly applied in a number of regions of Ukraine. According to Ukrenergo, these measures are being introduced amid the consequences of massive Russian attacks on energy infrastructure facilities and will remain in effect throughout the entire day—from 00:00 to 23:59. During this period, hourly blackout schedules come into force for all categories of consumers, while capacity limitation schedules are applied to industrial enterprises. ### Restriction Regime: Full Day and Up to Four Queues According to Ukrenergo, hourly outage schedules ranging from 1.5 to 4 queues will be in effect throughout the day in the affected regions. At the same time, capacity restrictions are being introduced for industry. Energy specialists emphasize that exact parameters and the list of outage zones are published on the official resources of regional energy companies, so residents are advised to check the actual schedules specifically for their region. ### The Cause: Strikes on Energy Infrastructure The main reason for introducing forced restrictions remains the consequences of Russian attacks on energy facilities. It was previously reported that as a result of the shelling, two DTEK energy facilities in the Kyiv region were damaged, causing emergency blackouts to continue in the region. Due to the scale of the damage and difficulties in restoring equipment, the return of power supply in a number of affected areas requires more time than usual. ### Recommendations for Consumers Ukrenergo urges citizens to monitor announcements and up-to-date outage schedules on the official pages of their regional power distribution companies (oblenergo). The company also reminds residents that when electricity appears according to the schedule, it must be consumed sparingly to reduce the load on the grid and shorten the recovery time for power supply in other zones. ### The Situation in the Power System Remains Tense Energy workers warn that due to the threat of new Russian shelling, the situation in the power system can change at any moment. Restoration work is being carried out in an enhanced mode; however, the overall load on the grid remains extremely high. The final volume of outages for November 8 will depend on the dynamics of damage and the pace of repairing damaged equipment throughout the day. ## Accounts differ ### Lower bound of the number of outage queues for November 8 - **RBC (primary source basis):** Hourly outage schedules for all categories of consumers range from 1.5 to 4 queues.
