Power outages to last all day in Ukraine on November 11 — Ukrenergo

In Ukraine, on Wednesday, November 11, scheduled power outages will be in effect throughout the entire day. This was reported by RBC-Ukraine, citing a statement from the national energy company Ukrenergo.

Reason for the restrictions

Ukrenergo explained that the reason for the round-the-clock power cuts is the consequences of enemy attacks on the power system. "Energy workers are working around the clock to restore damaged equipment and networks to bring electricity back to Ukrainian homes as quickly as possible," the company noted. Thus, the restrictions are temporary and are related to repair works on damaged infrastructure facilities.

What happened on the night of November 10

Recall that on the night and morning of November 10, strikes were carried out on Ukraine's energy infrastructure. According to one report, the energy sector was hit in eight regions; as a result of the attacks, consumers in six regions were left without power, and in some areas, restrictions will remain in effect until the end of the day. Prime Minister Serhiy Koretsky stated that Russia attacked 10 Ukrainian regions last night, with five major energy substations coming under fire.

How to find the outage schedule

Ukrenergo reminded all Ukrainians that current outage schedules can be checked on the official pages of regional power distribution companies (oblenergos). Energy officials urge citizens to follow the reports of distribution system operators in their respective regions, as the regime of restrictions may change depending on the state of the power grid and the pace of restoring damaged equipment.

Context

Round-the-clock power outages in certain regions of Ukraine have become a recurring scenario amid ongoing strikes on energy infrastructure. Previously, similar warnings about hourly outages and power capacity limits for businesses appeared on other dates when, after shelling, time was needed to restore the networks. Experts attribute such measures to temporary damage and consider them a necessary step toward the return of stable power supply.
