Ukrenergo reduces power outage schedules to three queues on November 12

Ukraine's national energy operator Ukrenergo announced that scheduled power outages on Thursday, November 12, will be reduced from four to three queues in some regions, easing restrictions for consumers. The outages will apply to all consumer categories through hourly schedules, ranging from one to three queues, while industry faces capacity limits. Ukrenergo cited the consequences of Russian attacks on the energy system as the cause, with crews working around the clock to repair damaged equipment. Earlier in November, up to four queues were active almost daily, with each queue representing four hours of restrictions. Recent Russian strikes on November 7 and 11 damaged multiple energy facilities across Kyiv, Dnipropetrovsk, Donetsk, Zhytomyr, and Kharkiv regions, while Kyiv also temporarily disabled outdoor lighting due to the electricity deficit.
