The Ministry of Energy of Ukraine explained the introduction of severe emergency power outages by high-voltage grid damage due to shelling and the need to protect the system from large-scale accidents.

Due to shelling and energy infrastructure damage, power outages are recorded in Rivne and five Ukrainian oblasts. Energy workers are carrying out restoration works.

⚡️ Deputy Viktoriya Hryb demands Ministry of Energy intervention due to the shutdown of the Chervonohrad Beneficiation Plant. The plant has been idle since January 2026, blocking coal supplies to thermal power plants and creating an energy security threat ahead of winter. ⛏️ 🏭 Sanation has lasted 8 years: one manager's appointment was annulled in April, another declined in July. A decision on a new candidate is expected on August 19. 📉 Consequences: wage arrears, destruction of capacity, environmental issues in Sosnivka. The deputy calls on the Ministry of Energy to unite the position of state creditors and launch the plant before the heating season.
