On October 23, 2026, emergency power outages were introduced in Kyiv and the Kyiv region. This decision was made on the command of Ukrenergo, and during these outages, the electricity supply schedules are not in effect.
Reasons for Emergency Outages
The power outages in Kyiv and the region are a consequence of attacks on energy facilities, which, according to the Ministry of Energy, also affected the Zhytomyr, Volyn, Mykolaiv, Poltava, Khmelnytskyi, and Rivne regions. As a result of these attacks, over 500,000 Ukrainians are left without electricity.
What is Known About the Outage Schedules
During emergency outages, the existing electricity supply schedules are not followed, meaning that consumers cannot predict when electricity supply will be restored. DTEK, the electricity supplier, reports that they will inform the public about any changes in the situation through their communication channels.
Public Reaction
Residents of Kyiv and the region are actively responding to the situation, sharing information on social media and Telegram channels. Many are urging each other to subscribe to channels to stay updated on the latest news regarding power outages and possible changes in electricity supply schedules.
