Due to damage to power grids, electricity shutdown schedules are still in effect in the Kharkiv region and Kryvyi Rih. This was stated by the Ministry of Energy, reports UNN.
Generation, transmission, consumption
Due to network restrictions on the transmission system operator's lines, shutdown schedules were applied yesterday in the Kharkiv region and Kryvyi Rih. Restrictions are still in effect today.
Yesterday, despite the fact that there could have been restrictions for industry in the evening, they were not applied.
Consumer needs were covered by own generation, imports, and emergency assistance (from Poland, Slovakia, and Romania). The volume of emergency assistance was less than 2% of daily consumption.
No emergency assistance is planned for the current day. Also, no restrictions are planned for household and industrial consumers (except for Kharkiv region and Kryvyi Rih)
