Russian troops again attacked energy facilities in Ukraine - in two regions, a significant part of Chernihiv region, including Chernihiv, is without electricity, consumption remains high, so they urge not to turn on powerful appliances simultaneously until 10:00 PM, and for industry, schedules are in effect, the Ministry of Energy and NEC "Ukrenergo" reported on Tuesday, writes UNN.
The enemy attacked the energy infrastructure of Chernihiv and Dnipropetrovsk regions. As a result of the shelling, consumers in the city of Chernihiv and part of the region remain without electricity.
Ukrenergo also indicated that "due to a drone attack on the energy infrastructure, there are large-scale power outages for consumers in Chernihiv region in the morning," and confirmed that "a significant part of the region, including the regional center, was left without electricity."
According to the Ministry of Energy, emergency recovery work is hampered by air raid alerts due to Russian attack UAVs; consumer restoration will begin as soon as the security situation allows.
Today, power limitation schedules for industrial consumers are planned to be applied from 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM in all regions of Ukraine.
Consumption
"Electricity consumption remains high. Today, October 21, as of 9:30 AM, it was 1.4% lower than at the same time the previous day," Ukrenergo reported.
The reason for such changes is the establishment of sunny weather in the western and part of the southern regions of Ukraine. This leads to high efficiency of household solar power plants and a corresponding decrease in energy consumption from the general grid.
Yesterday, October 20, the daily maximum consumption was in the evening - 4.5% higher than the maximum of the previous working day. The reasons for the changes are the traditional increase in energy consumption at the beginning of the working week, as well as cooling throughout Ukraine.
Ukrainians were urged to use electricity rationally throughout the day, especially during peak consumption hours in the morning and evening. This helps reduce the load on the system, the Ministry of Energy emphasized.
Throughout today, there is still a need for economical electricity consumption. Please limit the use of powerful electrical appliances and do not turn on several such appliances simultaneously until 10:00 PM.
