【Kyiv May Implement Extreme Power Rationing in Winter: Daily Power Outages Could Last Up to 22 Hours】According to a report by Ukraine's "National Web" on December 15, Oleg Popenko, chairman of the Ukrainian Utility Consumers' Union, recently stated that with the arrival of winter, Kyiv may face extreme power rationing measures. In cold conditions, daily power outages could last up to 22 hours.
Popenko pointed out that if winter temperatures drop below -5 degrees Celsius, the power supply situation in the capital of Ukraine will further deteriorate, and residents may only receive about two hours of electricity per day. He warned that if temperatures continue to fall and the energy situation does not improve within the next one to two weeks, Kyiv will be in a prolonged state of widespread power outages.
It is reported that the current power supply gap in Kyiv has reached as high as 70%. Additionally, due to serious damage to key power infrastructure, a major substation is almost completely paralyzed and can no longer provide stable power to the city.
Previously, media reports indicated that at the beginning of this month, Kyiv experienced large-scale power rationing, with over 70% of areas losing power, significantly affecting urban operations and residents' lives. The Ukrainian authorities had previously also reminded the public to prepare for periodic or even long-term power outages that may occur during the winter.
Analysts believe that as temperatures continue to drop, Ukraine's power system will face greater pressure, and the energy security situation in the capital Kyiv remains worrying. Ukraine
