Particularly difficult situation after the shelling in the Kherson region. Due to significant damage, some facilities in the neighboring Mykolaiv region have been de-energized,"

They added that all oblenergos of Ukraine received electricity consumption limits. As of the morning of February 3, no limits were exceeded, emergency shutdowns were not applied by the dispatch center of NPC Ukrenergo.

At the same time, they explained that 13 missile and 15 drone attacks caused significant damage to high-voltage network facilities and power plants.. As a result, the production of electricity at operating power plants cannot fully cover the consumption.

“Two blocks at thermal power plants are put into operation, and one is put into emergency repair. The available volume of electricity produced is distributed to ensure the processes necessary for the operation of energy and critical infrastructure (water utilities, boiler houses, hospitals), as well as to cover the needs of industry and the population.

Network restrictions remain only in the Odessa region,"
