On October 16, 2026, emergency power outages were implemented in Kyiv due to attacks on energy facilities. The company DTEK reported that stabilization schedules are currently not in effect, and power restoration according to the schedule is not guaranteed.
Reasons for Emergency Outages
The emergency outages were introduced in response to attacks carried out by Russian terrorists. This led to a sharp drop in voltage in the power grids, necessitating urgent power disconnections in various regions.
Recommendations for the Public
In light of the situation, DTEK urges the public to exercise caution:
- Avoid using elevators as sudden power outages may occur.
- Stay updated with information from DTEK regarding the state of electricity supply.
- Prepare for potential prolonged outages.
Further Actions by DTEK
The company promises to provide additional information on changes in electricity supply schedules. Should the situation improve, DTEK will inform the public through its official channels.
