DTEK Odesa Power Grid managed to restore power to 320,000 households in 558 settlements of Odesa Oblast that were cut off after the bad weather.

According to the company's press service, as of 10:00 a.m. on February 1, another 33,100 customers in 176 villages and towns were still without power.

Power grids in Berezovsky, Bilhorod-Dnistrovsky and Odessky districts of the region suffered the most damage.

In Odesa, electricity is supplied to critical infrastructure facilities.

In addition, due to serious problems in the Ukrainian power grid, on the morning of Saturday, January 31, at 10:42 a.m., the voltage on the 400 kV Isaccea-Vulcanesti MPP line dropped, causing an emergency shutdown of the power system. Vehicles and goods were temporarily prevented from crossing the Ukrainian-Moldovan border due to the failure of the central databases of the customs authorities of the Republic of Moldova.
