Ukraine schedules power outages for November 8 after Russian strikes

Ukraine will impose electricity consumption restrictions on Sunday, November 8, affecting all consumer categories with outages ranging from 1.5 to 4 queues throughout the day, according to Ukrenergo. The restrictions are a consequence of massive Russian attacks on energy infrastructure. Ukrenergo warned that the situation may change and urged consumers to monitor official regional operator announcements and use electricity sparingly when available. Scheduled outages (ГПВ) are pre-planned to manage forecastable power deficits, while emergency outages (ГАВ) are implemented within 3-15 minutes after infrastructure damage. Russia reportedly plans to disconnect three Ukrainian nuclear power plants and cut electricity supply to major cities by up to 90%.
