High-voltage facility accident complicates power restoration in parts of Sumy region

Technical obstacles complicate grid restoration

The problem of stable electricity supply persists in Sumy region. The cause was damage to one of the high-voltage facilities. As reported by the press service of Sumyoblenergo, the complexity of the damage prevents the rapid restoration of power to all de-energised consumers.

Impact of systematic attacks on backup capacity

An additional factor hindering the restoration process is the state of the energy infrastructure. Due to regular Russian strikes on the power system, backup power capabilities are significantly limited. This is why some citizens are still without electricity.

Energy company's position

The company's statement notes that energy workers are working to restore power to every home as quickly as possible.
