Power outage schedules in Ukraine have not been applied since July 30. This became possible due to the exit from repair of two units of nuclear power plants and a decrease in temperature.

At the same time, according to forecasters, the temperature in Ukraine will not exceed 37 degrees during August.

What they say about the return of blackouts in "Ukrenergo"

According to Vadym Kudrytskyi, the head of the board of NEC Ukrenergo, the return of heat to Ukraine may force the regulator to once again introduce blackouts in Ukraine.

He noted that Ukraine is currently preparing for the heating season.

In particular, Ukraine actively cooperates with Poland on expanding technical capabilities and increasing the volume of electricity supply from the neighboring country in the winter period.
