Cherkasy updates October 27 evening outages: check the subqueue before running a miner

Source report: 2026-10-27 · Editorial analysis published: 2026-10-27

The operator’s 14:00 update gives different two-hour intervals for twelve subqueues. These are local scheduled outages, separate from the 06:00–24:00 power restrictions announced for regional industry and business.

Original evening timetable: red marks listed outages for 1.1, 5.1 and 6.1 on October 27, Kyiv local time. Green is outside those intervals, not guaranteed supply.

A fresh schedule replaces a broad forecast

Cherkasyoblenergo updated its October 27 hourly outage schedule at 14:00 local time. The notice gives specific intervals for twelve subqueues in Ukraine’s Cherkasy region. For a household miner, the practical change is a more precise evening operating window: the relevant number is the subqueue assigned to the electricity connection, not a generic statement that the region faces restrictions.

All times below are the operator’s local clock, Europe/Kyiv, which is UTC+02 on October 27. The 14:00 publication therefore corresponds to 12:00 UTC. The update is a dated plan, not a measurement proving every affected address lost supply for the entire listed period. It is also not a nationwide schedule or an announcement for October 28.

Which subqueues have which intervals

Subqueues 1.1 and 1.2 are listed for 18:00–20:00. Subqueues 2.1 and 3.1 have 14:00–16:00 and 18:00–20:00. Subqueue 2.2 has those same two intervals plus 22:00–24:00. Subqueues 3.2 and 4.1 have 14:00–16:00 and 20:00–22:00. These are separate connection groups, not successive stages a single address must pass through.

Subqueues 4.2, 5.1 and 5.2 are listed for 16:00–18:00 and 20:00–22:00. Subqueues 6.1 and 6.2 have 16:00–18:00 and 22:00–24:00. A reader checking around the 16:00 news slot should distinguish earlier intervals from those still ahead. The operator links an address lookup and official chatbots for identifying the applicable queue and subqueue.

A queue is a group, not an hour count

A subqueue label such as 5.1 identifies a set of electricity connections. It does not mean five hours of outage, and an earlier forecast of up to two queues did not mean every customer would be disconnected for exactly two hours. Today’s updated intervals are the more useful source for this evening’s plan. A screenshot without a date, address group or update time can easily lead to the wrong calculation.

There is a separate notice for regional industry and business: power-limitation schedules apply on October 27 from 06:00 to 24:00 under an Ukrenergo instruction. A power limitation and a household hourly outage schedule are different operating measures. A commercial mining site must follow the requirements applying to its own connection; the household subqueue table does not establish that business’s permitted demand.

Original scope comparison: 06:00–24:00 industrial/business power restrictions differ from household hourly outages. Both notices concern Cherkasy region on October 27.

What the evening window means for mining

Consider only 16:00–24:00, an eight-hour window. For subqueue 5.1, the listed 16:00–18:00 and 20:00–22:00 intervals total four hours without scheduled supply. If the plan holds, that leaves at most four of those eight hours for grid-powered operation, or 50% of the window. For 1.1, 18:00–20:00 leaves six hours, or 75%. These are schedule illustrations, not whole-day uptime measurements.

For unchanged machine performance, less running time means less accepted work can be submitted to a pool. Actual output also depends on whether the miner reconnects successfully, pool acceptance and the network’s conditions. Electricity cost must use actual energy consumed; a 24-hour nameplate calculation would overstate consumption if the device spent part of the day off. Fixed hosting or other charges do not necessarily fall in the same proportion.

This distinction also prevents an incorrect catch-up assumption. A machine does not store the missed hours of network participation and automatically earn them back when supply returns. A pool may display average hashrate over a period that includes the outage, while the device screen shows its current running rate. The two figures can differ without either proving a hardware fault. For bookkeeping, keep a record of available grid hours, actual running hours, accepted pool work and measured energy as separate entries. Watts describe power at a moment; kilowatt-hours describe energy consumed over time. The evening timetable supplies an input for planning those records, not a replacement for them, and it does not establish tomorrow’s electricity availability.

Check the current notice, then compare actual operation

The useful sequence is to identify the connection’s official subqueue, check the date and latest operator update, and compare the planned intervals with the miner’s actual logs and pool dashboard. A restored light or internet connection does not by itself show that the device has resumed accepted mining work. Likewise, a gap in pool reporting is not proof of the exact outage duration at the property.

These notices concern electricity availability and permitted demand, not an instruction to bypass restrictions or improvise backup wiring. The operating decision should fit the connection’s conditions and existing safe equipment. The concrete news is the 14:00 revision for October 27; it gives Cherkasy miners a usable evening plan while keeping industrial limits, household schedules and real operating results distinct.
