"Due to network restrictions on the lines of the transmission system operator, power outage schedules were applied yesterday in the Kharkiv Region and for industry in Kryvyi Rih. Restrictions in these regions are still in effect today (in Kharkiv for 200,000 consumers). In other regions, consumers were not restricted.
