The Russian missile attack on Friday morning did not damage the energy infrastructure and did not result in any power outages. Source: Press service of Ukrenergo, the national power regulator Details: However, the situation in the east of Ukraine, where an energy facility has been damaged by the attack, remains difficult.

Electricity generation is currently sufficient to cover consumption.

The floodwaters are receding, but hydroelectric power plants continue to operate not only to cover peaks in consumption in the morning and evening but also throughout the day. Electricity exports to Poland and Moldova are also continuing, as are small imports from Slovakia. Repair crews are working on all the high-voltage grid facilities that were subjected to Russian attacks.

As a result of the 15 missile and 18 drone attacks, the power grid has sustained unprecedented damage, which will take a great deal of resources and time to repair.
