Around 150,000 electricity customers in Ukraine's Chernihiv region were left without power on 7 November after an emergency at a power supply facility. The outage affected the Koriukivka and Chernihiv districts, as well as the cities of Chernihiv and Slavutych. The information came from Chernihivoblenergo, the regional power distribution company.
What is known
The company's press service said that energy workers have already partially restored electricity to customers. Repair work is continuing. The statement did not say when supply will be back for all affected customers.
The cause of the emergency was not specified in the statement. It also does not explain what exactly happened at the facility or which facility it was.
Wider context
Ukrainska Pravda noted that scheduled power cuts are also planned for some parts of Ukraine on 7 November. The company describes the Chernihiv region outage as an emergency, not a planned one.
Because the cause and the full list of affected locations have not been disclosed in detail, the situation may change as repairs progress. Further updates can be expected in the company's official statements.
