And tomorrow – state of emergency: the government is preparing for rolling blackouts in 7 regions of Ukraine
Tuesday in the Ukrainian energy sector can be a state of emergency. Officials claim that the existing coal reserves will last a maximum of 45 days and a new delivery is impossible due to the blockade of the railway by volunteers in the Donbass, says the story TSN.19:30.
The Minister of fuel and energy Igor Nasalik argues that current resources will last for two weeks, so you must go to austerity: to revise the schedule of industrial enterprises and to start rolling blackouts in peak-load hours in seven regions of Ukraine – Kharkiv, Dnipropetrovsk, Kyiv, Chernihiv, Zaporizhya, Sumy and Cherkasy. There are already mandated to expand the staff and seek ways to live in a state of emergency. “Knowing that we will move to rolling blackouts, because we will not be able to cover peaks, this in turn will relate to and economic processes,” explained Nasalik.
