The electricity saved will be channelled towards powering the city\u2019s most critical facilities. An exception has been made only for certain areas where public warning systems are powered by the street lighting networks. This was announced on 11 November by the municipal utility \u00abKyivmiskvitlo\u00bb.<\/p>\n<div class=\"news-summary-box\"><strong>Briefly about the main points<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Street lighting in Kyiv will be temporarily switched off completely due to a power shortage.<\/li>\n<li>The electricity saved will be channelled towards powering the city\u2019s critical infrastructure.<\/li>\n<li>An exception has been made for the networks that power public warning systems.<\/li>\n<li>In certain areas, the street lighting will be switched on provided there is electricity, but no later than 22:00.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Why are the street lights in Kyiv being switched off?<\/h2>\n<p>The decision to switch off all outdoor lighting completely is linked to a complex <a href=\"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/suspilstvo\/enerhosystema-kyivshchyny-ruinuvannia-pidstantsii\/\">the situation in the power system<\/a> the capital. Due to damage to the infrastructure caused by Russian shelling, the existing capacity is insufficient to meet all the city\u2019s needs.<\/p>\n<p>Kyivmiskvitlo explained that the restrictions are necessary to prioritise the electricity supply to facilities on which Kyiv\u2019s essential services depend.<\/p>\n<p>The company emphasised that it is solely responsible for the lighting of public amenities. It is not an electricity supplier for residential buildings or critical infrastructure. The operation of street lights depends on the electricity supply provided by DTEK \u00abKyiv Power Grids\u00bb.<\/p>\n<h2>Where will the lights be left on, and until what time?<\/h2>\n<p>An exception will be made for outdoor lighting control cabinets which supply power to public warning systems.<\/p>\n<p>In such areas, the street lighting will only operate if there is a power supply \u2014 from the moment it is restored, but no later than 22:00.<\/p>\n<p>However, this does not mean that all streets fitted with public address systems are guaranteed to remain lit. In the event of a power cut, these systems will also cease to function.<\/p>\n<h2>Drivers and pedestrians have been warned of the danger<\/h2>\n<p>The municipal utility has urged residents of the capital to be particularly careful during the hours of darkness. The lack of street lighting makes it difficult to see on roads, at pedestrian crossings and in areas around residential buildings. Drivers are advised to reduce their speed, whilst pedestrians are advised to wear reflective clothing.<\/p>\n<p>The duration of the new restrictions has not yet been determined. The outdoor lighting arrangements will depend on how the capital\u2019s electricity supply situation develops.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u0423 \u041a\u0438\u0454\u0432\u0456
