In Ukraine, a possible blackout was announced this summer due to a gas shortage.
Due to the gas shortage in Ukraine, a possible power outage in the country is expected in the summer. This was announced on May 21 by the head of the Ukrainian Union of Consumers of Public Utilities Oleg Popenko.
He outlined a "huge problem" in Ukraine caused by dwindling gas reserves, which cover peak loads in the energy system in the heat.
"It will be difficult for us to cover peak loads in the summer if the temperature regime remains at +30 degrees and above for at least two to three weeks. We can cover peak loads today solely at the expense of gas," Popenko said on May 21 on the Ukrainian YouTube channel Novosti Live.
Popenko suggested that if the forecasts are confirmed, power outages should primarily occur at enterprises.
On April 20, Reuters reported, citing the former head of the Ukrainian gas transit operator, Sergei Makogon, that record low gas reserves had been recorded in Ukraine. Kiev may need to import 6.3 billion cubic meters of gas by the next heating season.
