Due to the situation in Ukraine's energy system, electricity restrictions are planned for November 22 in many regions of the country. This decision is related to the damage inflicted on energy facilities as a result of recent Russian attacks and will create certain difficulties in the population's energy supply.

Redaksiya reports that DTEK company has announced the electricity outage schedule for Kyiv region for November 22. According to this schedule, on Saturday, electricity will not be supplied to all consumer queues in the capital region, and one of the queues will remain without power for more than 13 hours.

In Dnipropetrovsk region, as in Kyiv region, electricity will not be supplied to all consumer queues on November 22. Most residents of Dnipro and surrounding areas will remain without power for more than 10 hours on Saturday. According to UNIAN, on the night of November 19, Russian invaders once again attacked Ukraine's energy system with drones and missiles. According to the Ministry of Energy, the attacks damaged energy facilities in seven regions of Ukraine. "Ukrenergo" also reminded that the duration and volume of electricity outages may change and advised to follow up-to-date information about schedules on the official pages of oblyenergo. At the same time, industrial enterprises must limit their electricity consumption to certain limits, as power restriction schedules will be in effect. Energy system dispatchers explain the reason for the implementation of restrictions by the impact of previous massive Russian missile and drone attacks on energy facilities.

In Kyiv, electricity will be cut off throughout the day on November 22. According to the schedule, Kyiv residents are expected to be without power for 9-12 hours on Saturday. The Russian attack also affected the operation of nuclear power plants. For this reason, three nuclear power plants have temporarily reduced electricity production. According to "Ukrenergo", on Saturday, November 22, electricity will be cut off in shifts throughout the day in all regions of Ukraine. According to the Ministry of Energy, Khmelnytskyi and South Ukraine NPPs are already operating at full capacity.
