The Ministry of Energy plans to change the schedules of stabilization power outages and divide all regions of Ukraine into several zones. The innovations are going to be introduced from January 2025.
This was reported by the RBC-Ukraine publication, citing several sources in the energy industry, on Friday, December 6.
The Ministry of Energy is considering the option of combining the schedules of some regions into zones where there will be a relatively equal amount of electricity consumption, and applying the same outage schedules for them, the publication writes.
"For example, one zone may include the Odesa, Cherkasy, Lviv and several other regions, selected in a checkerboard pattern - so as not to create large continuous territories with a simultaneous lack of light. And then the outages there will be in certain queues at the same time. That is, if the third queue is turned off for 4 hours in a certain period, then this will happen throughout the entire zone. The same system will be in other zones," the material says.
Among others, there is a proposal to introduce two subqueues and turn off one and a half queues depending on the situation. Currently, the Ministry of Energy is forming a new system of electricity outages, which they want to introduce from January 2025. The old system will operate in December, the publication noted.
As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, on December 5, Deputy Minister of Energy Mykola Kolesnyk said that the schedules of electricity outages in Ukraine are gradually being reduced.
