Why Power Outage Schedules Can Change During the Day: Ministry of Energy Explains

The Ministry of Energy clarified the decision-making process behind electricity restrictions. Outage schedules vary based on the real-time conditions of the energy system, which can fluctuate throughout the day.

Factors Influencing Outage Schedules

The schedules for electricity outages depend on several dynamic factors:

Decision-Making Authorities and Processes

According to the Ministry of Energy and reported by UNN, restrictions are implemented when there is insufficient generation or transmission ability due to network damage from large-scale shelling. The command to impose restrictions can come from the National Power Company "Ukrenergo" or distribution system operators.

“After massive shelling, the energy system lacks generation and/or the ability to transmit electricity due to network damage. Therefore, there is a need to limit consumption.”

Restriction Levels Depend on Consumption and Equipment Capacity

The extent of introduced restrictions is directly related to the current energy consumption levels and the available capacity of equipment to generate and transmit electricity.

Author’s Summary

The Ministry of Energy highlights how rapidly changing conditions in the energy system require flexible outage schedules to balance supply and demand during emergencies and peak periods.
