In Ukraine, as of the morning of August 10, 491 populated areas remain without power due to military action and technical failures; power engineers have restored power supply to another 4,713 consumers.
The Ministry of Energy reported this.
"No power outages are planned for Saturday, August 10. Power engineers continue to keep the situation in the power grid stable," the statement said.
It is noted that over the past 24 hours, emergency power supply from Poland was used; no electricity exports are taking place or are expected.
"Due to massive Russian attacks on the Ukrainian energy system, 9 GW of generating capacity was lost. The enemy continues to shell energy infrastructure, substations and power lines come under fire every day, which leads to restrictions in the transmission of electricity," the ministry noted and assured that energy companies are making every effort to keep the situation stable.
The Ministry of Energy asks citizens to use electricity rationally and economically, especially during peak hours – from 7:00 to 11:00 and from 17:00 to 22:00. This helps the energy system to operate stably.
