According to DTEK, power producers provide 73% of electricity consumption in Ukraine, the capacity deficit is 27%.

YASNO reported that within a day electricity was cut off for 958 500 consumers in Kyiv, limiting consumption by 560 MW. They explained that at the moment of connection, almost twice as much electricity is consumed as usual, so fuses, transformers, network equipment cannot withstand the load and therefore, emergencies occur again.
According to Andrii Nebytov, Head of the Kyiv oblast police, almost 500 settlements of Kyiv oblast remain without power for a long period of time. That is why the issue of deploying Points of Invincibility is discussed at the Joint Operational Headquarters and controlled by the head of the regional military administration.
52 stationary and 14 mobile Points of Invincibility established by the SES have been opened in Kyiv oblast. Local residents come to these points to warm up and charge gadgets. Teachers come to conduct online lessons with children.
