Numerous Regions Transition to Emergency Power Outages Over Scheduled Ones
In recent developments, several regions in Ukraine have shifted from scheduled power outages to emergency power outages. This change, instigated by NEC “Ukrenergo,” is a response to ongoing challenges in the energy supply due to external factors.
Regions Affected by Emergency Power Outages
- Sumy Region: Emergency shutdown schedules have been established, affecting seven consumer queues.
- Poltava Region: As of November 11, 2025, at 11:50 AM, emergency power outages were initiated due to damage from Russian attacks on energy infrastructure.
- Other Regions: Additional disruptions have impacted Zaporizhzhia, Dnipropetrovsk, and Odesa, resulting in consumer blackouts.
Reasons for Emergency Measures
The recent transition to emergency power outages arises from the repercussions of Russian shelling on Ukraine’s energy facilities. According to reports, these attacks have contributed to the precarious state of the energy system.
Current Energy Consumption Restrictions
As of November 11, consumption restrictions are in place across most regions. The following measures have been implemented:
- Hourly shutdown schedules with outages planned for two to four queues.
- Power restriction schedules targeting industrial and commercial sectors.
Local energy companies, including Sumyoblenergo and Poltavaoblenergo, are monitoring the situation closely and providing updates as needed. They anticipate restoring power to affected areas by the end of the day.
Weather Complications
Unfavorable weather conditions have further exacerbated the situation. On November 11, heavy rain and strong winds caused power disruptions in 16 settlements within the Kirovohrad region, leading to partial or complete blackout scenarios.
In sum, the shift to emergency power outages across various regions highlights the urgent nature of the current energy crisis in Ukraine. Continuous updates on power status and scheduled outages can be found on Emegypt.
