We remind you that the first official comment regarding the cascading outage in Ukraine's power grid appeared on the official Telegram channel of the First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Energy of Ukraine, Denys Shmyhal:
" Today at 10:42, a technological disruption occurred with the simultaneous shutdown of the 400 kV line between the power systems of Romania and Moldova and the 750 kV line between the western and central parts of Ukraine. This caused a cascade shutdown in the power grid of Ukraine and the activation of automatic protections at substations. The units of nuclear power plants were unloaded. Currently, in Kyiv, Kyiv, Zhytomyr, and Kharkiv regions, the dispatcher has applied special emergency shutdown schedules. Ukrenergo power engineers are working to restore power supply. Power will be restored in the coming hours ," said Denys Shmyhal.
