Odesa region has returned to the schedule of stabilization power outages after the emergency shutdowns caused by the shelling of energy facilities on December 13.
This was reported by DTEK Odesa Power Grid, the electricity distribution operator in the Odesa region.
"Repair works are ongoing, so we advise you to use the lights wisely - do not plug in all energy-intensive appliances at the same time, but use them one by one.
This will help minimize the number of accidents, relieve the power system, especially during peak consumption hours, and provide your homes with light," the company said.
On the morning of December 13, a series of powerful explosions occurred in Odesa. Russians attacked the city with missiles. The Ukrainian Air Force warned that a cruise missile was heading in the direction of Odesa. A few minutes later, there was information about another group of cruise missiles heading toward the city.
Russian troops launched a massive attack on the Ukrainian energy sector that day. The strike was accompanied by a large-scale drone attack - almost 200 drones. This was one of the largest attacks during the war aimed at critical energy infrastructure.
The last time a similar massive strike was carried out in the region was on November 17. Back then, Odesa region even asked neighboring Transnistria to help with its power, but they refused, Kiper said.
As explained to Intent by the OVA, it was the power companies that approached Transnistria, not the regional administration. So Intent turned to the electricity distribution operator DTEK Odesa Power Grids, which explained that it only transports electricity from Ukrenergo's high-voltage substations to customers' homes and has no authority to negotiate electricity exports or imports. They were advised to contact NPC Ukrenergo. Ukrenergo told the publication that they could not comment on the situation with energy supply because the Ministry of Energy of Ukraine recommended that energy companies refrain from commenting.
Local residents took to the streets to protest the power outage and blocked several roads.
