Kyiv CHPP-5, CHPP-6 and Darnitskaya CHPP stopped power generation after the attacks, - RBC-Ukraine publication reported that Kyiv has become much more dependent on electricity supplies from other regions through the Unified Energy System of Ukraine. "But the mere presence of electricity in the general grid does not mean that it can be easily transferred to the capital. This requires serviceable substations, which also regularly suffer from Russian attacks and can fail. Citizens could see the consequences of such problems on October 8. Then, due to a voltage drop in external power centers, the metro in Kyiv temporarily stopped," the publication said. According to one of the sources, since the metro consumes a lot of electricity, in the event of new attacks and a sudden lack of electricity, it may be temporarily shut down to quickly stabilize the operation of the electrical system. When there is a critical lack of current, the metro "goes out" by itself, the publication's interlocutor noted. Earlier, DTEK reported that the timetables for power outages in Kyiv have been tightened due to new attacks on energy facilities, including thermal power plants in Kyiv.
