Several regions of Ukraine are out of power suddenly at 12:00 on Jan. 30.
Several sources among local authorities and energy companies confirmed to Kyiv Post that the Kyiv, Chernihiv, Kharkiv and Zhytomyr and Odesa regions are without electricity.
According to sources, the energy grid is overloaded due to the low temperature extremes (down to -15°C). And this overload is extremely bad after the system was seriously damaged by the last russian missile strikes.
Minister of Energy Denys Shmyhal wrote in his Telegram that the automatic system stopped the power because of sudden stop of the wo energy lines that connect Moldova and Ukraine and western regions and central regions of Ukraine. What the cause of this was is still unclear.
Meanwhile, the state agency “Ukrenergo” promises that the power will be restored in several hours
