#Power Outages

Emergency power outages are in effect in Kyiv following a Russian attack. Planned schedules are suspended as repair crews work to stabilize the power grid.

On the night of September 30, Kyiv suffered a massive ballistic missile and drone attack. Fires in residential buildings, damaged warehouses, and power outages were reported.

The Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine has approved school guidelines for power outages and air raids, featuring five response levels and shelter rules.

The transition to winter time in Ukraine will help mitigate evening peak loads on the power system and reduce the risk of power outages amid a shortage of maneuvering capacities.

JSC Poltavaoblenergo has presented an updated hourly blackout schedule from October 1, 2026, to April 1, 2027. Learn how to check your queue.

The Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine has distributed nearly UAH 500 million among 21 oblasts and Kyiv for the installation of backup power supply systems in schools. The implementation of the projects must be completed by November 15, 2026.

Local power outage schedules have been introduced in Mykolaiv, the Mykolaiv and Bashtanka districts: from 18:00 four queues were disconnected. The oblast energy company linked the restrictions to the aftermath of the region's latest massive shelling.

The Cabinet of Ministers has exempted enterprises covering at least 80% of consumption through imports or their own generation from electricity outage schedules. The measure is designed to stimulate distributed generation ahead of a difficult winter.
