Russian forces struck energy infrastructure facilities in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast over the past 24 hours, from June 29 to June 30, private energy company DTEK said on June 30.
The strikes temporarily left some residents in frontline areas without electricity, the company said.
Power engineers began restoration work immediately after the Russian attacks. Within several hours, electricity had been restored to all consumers affected by the strikes.
On June 30, Ukrenergo said it had not imposed electricity consumption restrictions since mid-April, but rolling outages returned in late June because extreme heat drove up power demand across Ukraine.
Ukrenergo also said scheduled power outages would be in effect from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. local time on June 30 due to heat-driven increases in electricity consumption.
Yasno CEO Serhii Kovalenko urged residents to "be prepared for different scenarios," charge portable power banks and conserve electricity. He said the power system would operate "under severe strain" over the coming days.
On June 29, Ukrenergo did not forecast any power outages. The company urged consumers to conserve electricity during peak evening hours, from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m. local time.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
