Power supply restricted in Odessa region due to Russian attacks

The National Energy Company of Ukraine “Ukrenergo” reported this on its Facebook page, as reported by Ukrinform.

“As a result of the consequences of previous drone strikes on energy facilities in the Odessa region, the distribution network operator was forced to establish network restrictions, which led to power outages for both household and industrial users. Restoration work continues in the region,” the statement said.

It is also noted that electricity consumption in Ukraine is decreasing due to warmer weather in some areas. On Tuesday, February 25, at 09:30, electricity consumption was 4.1% lower compared to the same time on February 24.
