Power outages
in Ukraine are now divided into two types:
emergency and stabilization.
The YASNO energy company explained
the difference and where to view outage schedules
.
Emergency shutdowns
Yes, emergency shutdowns can be
emergency
or
local
.
In the first case, they occur
if energy infrastructure objects are damaged or destroyed due to shelling
.
The time of emergency shutdown
can last long enough
.
Local outages usually
do not exceed 5 hours
.
They occur
when power grids fail in a specific limited area
.
Emergency shutdowns cannot be predicted, so there are no timetables for them.
To find out more about the restoration of light in such cases, it is necessary
to contact the operator of the distribution system
.
For example, a chatbot works for customers of DTEK Kyiv Electric Networks: https://cutt.ly/NNlrQI4.
Stabilization shutdowns
Stabilization shutdowns
occur to balance the operation of power networks
.
They are initiated by "Ukrenergo"
when the volume of generation becomes less than the volume of consumption
or due to damage the infrastructure cannot transmit the necessary power to consumers.
Therefore,
while the repairs are ongoing
, distribution system operators
have to temporarily limit the supply of light
.
You can find out about
such damage
and
possible outage schedules
using the YASNO online chatbot: https://t.me/Yasnoonlinebot.
YASNO noted that
yesterday, October 28, Ukraine faced emergency power outages
due to another Russian attack.
Today, October 28, emergency power outages continue
.
Schedules of stabilization shutdowns are
irrelevant
for them .
"We understand that when there is no light for half a day, things just pile up. However, we ask you to consume electricity responsibly. After all, the speed of electricity restoration depends on each of us," the company said.
We will remind you that the companies Vodafone, Lifecell and Kyivstar explained
why mobile communications and the Internet do not work
when the lights are turned off.
