But residents were urged not to use powerful appliances.
On the morning of January 8, power engineers managed to fully restore light to residents of Zaporizhzhya region of Ukraine, but citizens are urged not to use powerful household appliances due to the shortage of electricity.
This is reported by "Zaporozhyeoblenergo".
"Zaporozhyeoblenergo specialists have restored power supply to residents of the controlled part of Zaporizhzhya region," said the head of the company Andrey Stasevsky.
He said that yesterday, January 7, at about 22:00, as a result of a massive drone attack by the enemy on the energy infrastructure, the Zaporizhzhya region was completely de-energized.
Restoration work continued throughout the night. First of all, critical infrastructure facilities - in particular, heat and water supply - were revived.
"Thanks to the pre-established algorithms of action as of 05:00 in the morning - in less than 7 hours - the work has been completed, power supply to the residents of Zaporizhzhya region and the regional center has been restored," Stasevsky added.
At the same time, power engineers note that after the night shelling in the energy system in the Zaporizhzhya region remains a difficult situation. Therefore, in order to avoid repeated mass de-energization, residents are urged to urgently limit the use of powerful electrical appliances.
According to the Vice Prime Minister for the restoration of Ukraine and Minister of Community and Territory Development of Ukraine Alexei Kuleba, in Zaporizhzhya continues to supply heat and water to homes. Boiler houses are supplied with power and are operating normally, and trains are also running normally.
