Kyiv will save electricity through street lights: what the Kyiv City State Administration decided

In Kyiv, all outdoor street lighting will be temporarily turned off due to a shortage of electricity. An exception will be made only for cabinets that power alarm systems: they will be turned on if electricity is available until 10:00 p.m.

This was reported by the Kyivmisksvitlo municipal enterprise.

The company explained that the electricity shortage was caused by damage to the energy infrastructure as a result of Russian shelling. In order to ensure power supply to the capital’s most important facilities, the head of the Kyiv City State Administration’s emergency response work decided to temporarily turn off street lights.

Kyivmisksvitla clarified that the company is only responsible for lighting the facilities of the Kyiv community. It does not supply electricity to residential buildings or critical infrastructure facilities, and its work depends on the capabilities of DTEK Kyiv Electric Networks PJSC.

At the same time, the company warned of increased danger on the roads at night and urged drivers and pedestrians to be careful.

Drivers are advised to follow the speed limit, increase the distance, and drive carefully at pedestrian crossings. Pedestrians are recommended to use reflective elements on their clothing, as well as illuminate the road with flashlights or smartphones.

As a reminder, as a result of Russian attacks on energy infrastructure , partial power outages were recorded in eight regions of Ukraine .

By the way, the light camouflage regime will be strengthened in the Kyiv region to complicate Russian air attacks.
