KB (via "Kyiv Digital" app) — December 24, 2024
Good news for Ukrainians this Christmas Eve: "Ukrenergo" has announced that planned power outages for residential consumers on Wednesday, December 25, 2024, have been canceled. The energy company assured, "There is sufficient electricity, so no outages are scheduled for tomorrow."
Ukraine’s energy system has remained resilient despite ongoing challenges, ensuring a bright Christmas for families across the country. To maintain this stability, "Ukrenergo" urges citizens to continue supporting energy workers by minimizing their use of electric appliances during peak hours, between 5:00 PM and 11:00 PM, and from 6:00 AM to 11:00 AM.
