As a result of russian attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, hourly outage schedules were implemented for all categories of consumers in some regions, while capacity limitation schedules were applied to industrial consumers. On 20 October, as the attacks spread to the western regions, capacity limitations were implemented across Ukraine. In addition, cloudy weather and shorter daylight hours reduced the efficiency of solar power plants.
