Ukraine, Kyiv: 110 kV power transmission line between Ukraine-Romania was shut down due to a storm front in the Zakarpattia Region.

The shutdown and the quick repair were announced by the Ministry of Energy.

“Due to a storm front in the Zakarpattia Region, the 110 kV interstate overhead power line was disconnected. The place of damage was found on the territory of Hungary, and the line was restored to operation in three hours,” the message says.

In the Odesa Region, because of a nighttime air attack by the Russian Federation, networks were damaged, with more than 1,000 consumers cut off, and repair work is still ongoing.

In the Kherson Region, a 150 kV overhead power line was damaged by shelling.

“As a result, the 150 kV substation, which supplies several thousand household consumers, was cut off for two hours. Part of the consumers in the Donetsk, Dnipropetrovsk, Zaporizhzhia, Kharkiv, Sumy and Chernihiv Regions remained without power,” the report says.

Earlier this month, the 400 kV interstate power transmission line connecting the energy systems of Ukraine and Slovakia was shut down in the Zakarpattia Region.
