Rolling power outages continue throughout Ukraine. The country is proposed to be divided into zones in order to distribute the limits more fairly.
"The Ministry of Energy plans to change the procedure for applying schedules of stabilization power outages. From 2025, all regions can be divided into several zones, — RBC — Ukraine writes. — Currently, power outages across the country are uneven. And if for a month the total number of hours "without electricity" for all consumers is almost the same, then during the week or day fluctuations can be significant."
The regions receive a command from Ukrenergo to turn off one or more queues of consumers and decide for themselves which queues to turn off and for how long, the agency notes.
"Therefore, in some regions outages can be 3-4 hours, in others — 2, and with different frequency. And now the Ministry of Energy just wants to streamline the shutdown system in order to unify the schedules for each turn," RBC — Ukraine continues.
According to him, there is an option to combine the schedules of some regions into several, possibly three zones with relatively equal consumption, and apply the same shutdown schedules in each of them.
"For example, one zone may include Odessa, Cherkasy, Lviv and several other regions selected in a staggered manner — so as not to create large continuous territories with a simultaneous lack of electricity. And then the outages will be there in certain queues at the same time. That is, if you turn off the third queue for 4 hours during a certain period, then this will happen throughout the zone. The same system will be for other zones," the agency added.
In November on Ukraine resumed rolling power outages. Until the frosts come, continuous shutdowns last 3-4 hours. At the same time, the country is weakly increasing electricity imports from the EU and Moldova, as prices are extremely high in Eastern European countries, including due to demand for Ukraine.
In the capital's power company "DTEK — Kiev electric networks" complained that due to outages, power outages increased by almost a third.
