It is also important to restore the power lines and substations that ensure the transmission of electricity from one region to another.

Galushchenko also commented on the situation with blackout schedules in the regions. He explained that each operator of the distribution system in the regions is assigned electricity limits, which must be distributed proportionally among all consumers, with the exception of critical infrastructure. According to him, this ensures fairness during power outages. However, there are many violations, the minister noted.
“For violations of the NCRECP, three regional energy companies and their managers have been fined. Sanctions will be applied to violators in the future,” Galushchenko emphasized.
