Ukraine to impose hourly power outages on November 12 across most regions

Ukraine will implement hourly power outages on Thursday, November 12, affecting most regions. Restrictions will reach up to 3 queues, potentially cutting electricity for 12-16 hours daily, with schedules applied around the clock from 00:00 to 23:59. The scope is slightly reduced from the previous day's 4 queues. Business and industry will face power consumption limits rather than full shutdowns. Kyiv uses individual building schedules accessible via chatbots, websites, the "Kyiv Digital" app, or hotline 1549, with outdoor lighting also being switched off due to energy deficits from enemy attacks. Mykolaiv region will see outages from 06:00 to 23:59, with schedules available on the local operator's website. Residents are advised to monitor their regional distribution operator's official channels. President Zelensky stated Ukraine has developed a winter plan covering infrastructure protection, fuel reserves, and citizen support during power disruptions.
