Kyiv has implemented emergency power shutdowns following orders from the national grid operator, Ukrenergo. This has paralyzed the city's key life-support systems, including water and heat supplies, as well as municipal electric transport.

According to the Kyiv City State Administration (KCSA), energy workers have already begun restoration efforts to stabilize the situation. Due to the blackout, tram and trolleybus services have ground to a halt on both banks of the capital. Municipal services are responding rapidly to the transport collapse.

The municipal transport provider, Kyivpastrans, reported that backup buses are being deployed. Specifically, following the suspension of the Borshchahivka high-speed tram, bus service No. 3T has been organized along the "Starovokzalna Street - Kiltseva Road" route.

Meanwhile, the Kyiv Metro continues to operate according to its regular schedule.

DTEK also reported a critical electricity supply situation in Kyiv. Following Russian strikes, the capital's power grid is functioning under extreme duress—several districts are experiencing disruptions not only in electricity but also in water and heating. As of January 10, returning to planned stabilization schedules is currently impossible.

The company explained that the massive attack damaged vital generation and transmission facilities. Energy workers are forced to apply emergency shutdowns because adhering to stabilization schedules is technically unfeasible. The situation is further aggravated by weather conditions: severe frosts have caused a sharp spike in electricity consumption for heating.

Additional complications stem from the weather's aftermath—icy power lines, fallen trees, and snowdrifts are hindering repair crews from reaching accident sites. The enemy struck at a moment of maximum system vulnerability. DTEK stated bluntly that it is impossible to predict when predictable schedules will return, though all efforts are focused on stabilization.

For those who still have power, up-to-date information can be tracked through official channels: the DTEK and Yasno websites (where the exact street and house number must be provided), Telegram chatbots, or the "Kyiv Digital" app.

To use these services, residents should:

  • Navigate to the "Kyiv" sections of the Yasno or DTEK websites;

  • Enter the address in the relevant fields (selecting the street name and house number from the dropdown list).

Subscribers can also check outage schedules via a Telegram bot by selecting "Kyiv" and clicking "Possible Outages," then entering their address. Additionally, residents can contact the service providers by phone:
