Power engineers need 24 to 36 hours to stabilize the power system and restore electricity supply
Serhii Nahorniak, MP from the Servant of the People faction, member of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Energy, Housing and Utilities, has stated this on the air of the Kyiv 24 TV channel.
"According to the forecasts of the power engineers themselves, not the officials of the Ministry of Energy, they need 24 to 36 hours to stabilize the power system and restore full generation of nuclear power plants in the South, Khmelnytskyi and Rivne Regions," Nahorniak said.
The MP noted that if there is a restoration of power supply, it will be with long schedules and switching to emergency schedules.
"We understand that, despite the calls to consume economically, now that the electricity is supplied, the subway and public transport should start working, and people in apartments will turn on electrical appliances. So I wouldn't be so optimistic and make promises to people that cannot be fulfilled," Nahorniak added.
As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, emergency power outages were introduced in many regions of Ukraine and the capital. Water and heating were reported to be cut off, and subway, trolleybus and electric trains were also suspended.
