"As a result of hostilities and shelling of energy facilities, some consumers in Dnipropetrovsk, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia, Odesa, Sumy, Kharkiv, and Chernihiv regions are temporarily without electricity," the statement reads.
As noted, energy workers are working to restore power to Ukrainian homes as quickly as possible. Restoration work continues around the clock.
"Due to bad weather, 72 settlements in Ternopil, Chernihiv, and Kyiv regions remain without electricity," the statement says.
Repair crews are working on restoration.
"No restrictions are forecast for today. Active energy consumption today should be shifted to daytime hours - from 11:00 to 15:00," the Ministry of Energy emphasized.
According to Ukrenergo, electricity consumption is showing an upward trend. Today, July 14, as of 09:30, it was 2.2% higher than at the same time the previous day – Monday. The reason for the changes is cloudy weather in most regions of Ukraine, which causes low efficiency of household solar power plants and a corresponding increase in consumption from the general grid. Also, rising air temperatures are prompting consumers to use air conditioners.
Yesterday, July 13, the daily maximum consumption was recorded in the evening. It was at the same level as the maximum of the previous working day – on Friday, July 10.
