At the same time, the overdue debt of residents of the Dnepropetrovsk region and Kyiv amounts to more than 1.2 billion hryvnia.

The company plans to begin the first blackout of debtors at the end of January.

" According to the rules, shutdowns can occur no earlier than 10 working days after receipt of the warning.. Therefore, the first power outages for debtors will begin at the end of January,” the company noted..

Yasno added that the key goal is not yet to disconnect as many consumers as possible, but to inform about the need for timely payment.

“Therefore, we recommend paying off your debts as soon as possible so as not to end up on the blackout lists,” the message says..

Let us recall that the head of the board of NEC Ukrenergo assured that the Ukrainian energy system will not experience collapse, even if Russia launches massive attacks on energy facilities during a cold snap.
