On October 7, in the Kharkiv region, according to instructions from "Ukrenergo," hourly power outages were introduced: the restrictions will be in effect throughout the day, from 00:00 to 23:59. The reason cited was a difficult situation in the unified energy system, caused by Russian shelling. In parallel, schedules for limiting industrial enterprises and businesses are in effect. The times in the schedules are approximate and may be adjusted depending on the operational situation; residents are asked to conserve the charge on their phones and power banks in case of prolonged outages.
