Russia attacks energy facilities in 7 regions of Ukraine
This was announced by the Ministry of Energy, Ukrainian News Agency reports.
"In the Donetsk Region, as a result of the shelling, the equipment caught fire at one of the substations, which led to the blackout of the mine. The mine workers were brought to the surface. Also, as a result of the shelling, the overhead line was disconnected. The consumers were not cut off," the message says.
In the Sumy Region, overhead lines and substation equipment were disconnected during the air alert.
As of the morning of Tuesday, September 24, 536 settlements remain partially or completely without power due to hostilities and technical violations.
At the same time, last day, energy companies restored power to 33,818 consumers who were cut off as a result of hostilities and technological violations.
As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, before the start of the full-scale armed invasion of the russian federation on February 24, 2022, Ukraine produced 44.1 GW of electricity.
At the same time, in the winter before the start of the war, electricity consumption was about 26 GW, and surplus electricity was exported.
The occupation of part of the Ukrainian territory by the russian federation led to a decrease in electricity production capacity by 18 GW.
Until the winter of 2023-2024, Ukraine was able to produce only about 17.8 GW of electricity per hour, while the peak winter consumption reached 18.5 GW per hour, this shortfall was settled by importing electricity.
At the same time, since the end of March 2024, due to russian shelling, Ukraine has lost more than 9 GW of generating capacity.
