Separate electricity restrictions in Kyiv region
DTEK separately announced emergency electricity restrictions in Kyiv region on Ukrenergo’s instructions. That announcement concerns wider regional restrictions. The report of physical damage and power loss covers part of Brovary district.
A change to the wider restrictions does not establish whether a damaged local connection has been restored. The available reports leave both the restoration timing and supply at individual addresses unresolved.
Preparing backup for essential equipment
During an interruption, consider what you need for lighting, communication and other essential tasks. Check which devices can run directly from a battery and which need an AC outlet. The backup essentials guide and runtime calculator explain how to prioritise essential equipment and estimate battery runtime. Start with the devices you need to keep available, check their power draw, and compare their combined needs with your available battery capacity. For a phone or other communications device, check the charger and cable you would use during an outage. If your backup capacity is limited, decide which equipment needs to stay available first and keep the relevant chargers together.
