The Russian army attacked energy infrastructure in Kharkiv, Sumy, Chernihiv, Odesa, and Donetsk oblasts, the Ministry of Energy reports.

Repair and restoration work is ongoing at the damaged energy facilities, according to the ministry.

The ministry said that hourly blackout schedules and capacity limitation schedules for industrial consumers and businesses are being applied from 00:00 to 23:59 in most oblasts of Ukraine today.

"Current schedules are posted on the official resources of regional distribution system operators. Learn about changes in energy supply on the pages of your region's oblenergo," the ministry emphasized.

The Ministry of Energy called on consumers to use electricity rationally throughout the day, especially during peak consumption hours in the morning and evening. This helps reduce the load on the system.

On 17 November, energy consumption restriction measures will be applied in most regions of Ukraine, with hourly blackout schedules ranging from 1 to 4 stages in effect throughout the entire day.
