When will electricity supply be restored in the Kyiv region

DTEK Kyiv regional power grids explained that such a

long absence of light is connected with the use of emergency shutdowns

.

In this case, the disconnection 

applies to a larger number of consumers

Currently

, it is impossible to predict the recovery time

.

The situation in the region is complicated.

"When we prepare for the launch of an emergency shutdown, we look at the power consumption. We choose those lines, excluding which we will receive the total amount of electricity necessary for balancing. 

All lines that supply household and industrial customers fall under the shutdown

. The

exception is

the lines that supply "objects of critical infrastructure, we do not turn them off," DTEK noted.

If

the neighboring house has light and yours does not

, they may be powered by another line. 

We remind you that as of the morning of December 20, emergency power outages are again in effect in Kyiv.

Due to energy problems, some boiler houses

are forced to switch off and on alternately

.

430 stationary points of invincibility are deployed, where you can warm up, charge electronic devices and use communication.
