KYIV, Dec 9 – A return to the scheduled power outages is envisaged in a few days, when with the restoration of generating capacities damaged by the shelling of the Russian Federation, it will be possible to reduce the shortage of electricity, Board Chairman of Ukrenergo Volodymyr Kudrytsky has said.

"We see that the frosts have receded a little. At the same time, we are gradually restoring generating capacities, and gradually the amount of generation available to us is increasing, thereby reducing the shortage. I think that in a few days we will reach the limit when everyone can strictly comply with the power outage schedules by regions introduced by regional energy companies," he said at a briefing at the Ukraine-Ukrinform media center in Kyiv on Friday.
