A new regime of power outages has been introduced in Mykolaiv district of Mykolaiv region due to limited grid capacity.
According to Mykolaivoblenergo, the previous optimistic forecast for the schedules did not materialize.
Power engineers explained that it is currently impossible to ensure the supply of electricity according to the 3 hours in 3 hours scheme. As a result, the addresses that were left without electricity as a result of the hostilities were redistributed into four local queues.
The blackouts are carried out in a circle: first, the first line is turned off, then the second, third and fourth. Each stage has 2 hours with power supply and 6 hours without power.
In addition, the agency added that as of 10:30 a.m. on April 30, the second day of Shahed drones strikes on power facilities is underway. As a result, some consumers in Mykolaiv and Bashtanka districts were left without electricity.
Due to the damage to the power grids, the power company was forced to introduce emergency blackouts.
The company emphasizes that the situation remains difficult, so residents are asked to use electricity as sparingly as possible when it is available.
Power companies assure that they are working to restore stable power supply to the affected communities.
Recently, bad weather struck Mykolaiv region, damaging power lines and causing massive blackouts.
