Ukrenergo has confirmed that electricity shutdown schedules in Ukraine will continue to be in effect on Friday, November 6. This was reported by RBC-Ukraine, citing a statement from the national energy company. In some regions, power consumption limitation measures will be mandatorily applied on that day, with precise shutdown parameters for each region determined by distribution system operators. ### Reason for restrictions — consequences of attacks on energy infrastructure Ukrenergo explained that the introduction of schedules is a result of massive Russian attacks on energy facilities. The company emphasized that due to ongoing shelling, the situation in the power system can change throughout the day, so the official sources for up-to-date information regarding the time and duration of shutdowns remain the pages of distribution system operators — the regional power companies (oblenergo) in each specific region. Both households and industrial consumers are urged to follow these regional schedules rather than generalized forecasts. ### Call for energy conservation Along with the warning about shutdowns, Ukrenergo has appealed to all Ukrainians to use electricity sparingly once it becomes available according to the schedule. The company notes that consumer discipline during power restoration hours directly impacts the stability of the power system and how quickly electricity can be returned to other areas. Restrictions, according to the operators, are applied to both industry and the population in those regions where the power deficit is most severe. ### Regional specificities: savings mode in Zhytomyr Ukrenergo specifically mentioned the situation in Zhytomyr, where an electricity savings mode has been implemented due to significant damage to the energy system caused by Russian shelling. This means that in some settlements, restrictions may be longer and more severe than the national average, and exact power supply hours are determined by the local operator depending on grid conditions. ### Winter forecast: consumption growth and the risk of multi-day outages Experts warn that with the arrival of cold weather, electricity consumption in Ukraine will rise, placing additional stress on an already damaged system. Director of the Energy Research Center Oleksandr Kharchenko stated that some small towns could remain without power for several days. In a broader context, energy expert Stanislav Ignatiev previously predicted that daily outages totaling at least six hours could become the norm in winter, with restrictions most significantly affecting Kyiv and the Kyiv region, as well as frontline areas. According to his data, homes connected to the damaged Darnytska CHP plant are among those remaining without full power supply, while the winter inefficiency of solar generation further limits the system's balancing capabilities. ## Fact-Check & Sources - [Украинцев предупредили об отключениях света 6 ноября: какими будут графики](https://www.rbc.ua/ukr/news/ukrayintsiv-poperedili-vidklyuchennya-svitla-1793899644.html) - Primary source: Ukrenergo statement on maintaining shutdown schedules for Nov 6, caused by attacks on energy infrastructure, savings mode in Zhytomyr, Kharchenko's forecast. - [Украинцев предупредили об отключениях света 23 октября: какой режим будет действовать](https://www.obozrevatel.com/section-ekonomika-glavnaya/communalka/news-ukrayintsiv-poperedyly-pro-vidklyuchennya-svitla-23-zhovtnya-yakyy-rezhym-diyatyme-22-10-2026.html) - Подтверждено по источнику obozrevatel.com - [Света может не быть по 6 часов в день: украинцев предупредили об отключениях](https://glavred.info/energy/sveta-mozhet-ne-byt-po-6-chasov-v-den-ukraincev-predupredili-ob-otklyucheniyah-10802231.html) - Additional expert context: Stanislav Ignatiev's forecast regarding 6+ hour winter outages, 1100 homes near Darnytska CHP, and the winter inefficiency of solar generation. - [Украинцев предупредили об отключениях в пятницу](https://news.bigmir.net/ukraine/10449786-ukraincev-predupredili-ob-otkliuceniiax-v-piatnicu) - Подтверждено по источнику news.bigmir.net ## FAQ ### Will there be electricity shutdowns in Ukraine on November 6?
