Ukrenergo
Ukrenergo is identified in its explanation reported by UNN as the operator of Ukraine's integrated power system.
Roles and functions
In that explanation, Ukrenergo describes its responsibility as determining how much electricity use the power system needs to restrict at a given time. During hourly blackouts, this includes determining how many outage groups in each region must be disconnected.
How it works
Ukrenergo's explanation assigns local scheduling to regional distribution system operators, known as oblenergos. These operators decide which outage groups are disconnected and how the total forced outage time is distributed among them; Ukrenergo does not draw up schedules or disconnect individual houses, streets or settlements.
Scope and limitations
Ukrenergo's explanation identifies Ukraine's State Energy Supervision Inspectorate as the body that should check whether regional blackout schedules are fair. This assigns fairness oversight separately from the system operator's calculation of required restrictions and the distribution operators' scheduling work.
