"As a result of hostilities and shelling of energy facilities, some consumers in Dnipropetrovsk, Zaporizhzhia, Sumy, and Kharkiv 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, more than 50 settlements in Dnipropetrovsk, Cherkasy, Kyiv, Kirovohrad, Mykolaiv, Ternopil, and Sumy regions remain without electricity," the statement said.
Repair crews are working on restoration.
"No restrictions are forecast for today. Active energy consumption today should be shifted to daytime hours - from 10:00 to 16:00," the Ministry of Energy noted.
According to Ukrenergo, electricity consumption has increased. Today, July 15, as of 09:30, it was 3.4% higher than at the same time the previous day – Tuesday. The reason for the change is the rise in air temperature, prompting consumers to actively use air conditioners. Yesterday, July 14, the daily maximum consumption was recorded in the afternoon. It was 3.4% higher than the maximum of the previous day – Monday, July 13. The reason is the intensification of heat in most regions of Ukraine.
