As a result of a massive attack on the night of August 28, energy facilities in several regions were damaged, and restoration of power supply to consumers is ongoing. This was reported on Facebook by NPC Ukrenergo.
“As a result of the enemy’s overnight missile-drone attack, energy facilities in several regions were damaged. Consequently, there are local outages for consumers. Emergency repair works are ongoing, and some consumers were reconnected to the power supply by morning. Energy workers are doing everything possible to restore damaged equipment to operation as quickly as possible,” the statement said.
Ukrenergo noted that electricity consumption had been decreasing for the second day in a row. As of 9:30 a.m. on August 28, it was 1.1% lower compared to the same time the previous day. The reason for this is clear weather across Ukraine, which ensures high efficiency of household solar power plants and thus reduces consumption from the general grid. (Ukrinform)
