Background:

Ukraine lacks the power generation capacities and electricity imports to cover consumption, and rolling blackouts were introduced in some oblasts this morning, 16 May.
Consumer outages that began on 14 May may last until August-September. There will be a shortage in the power system in winter, even at high temperatures, said Yurii Boiko, the adviser to the Prime Minister of Ukraine and a member of the Supervisory Board of Ukrenergo.
