As indicated by the Ministry of Energy, emergency restoration work is already underway where the security situation currently allows. Energy workers are doing everything possible to restore power to all subscribers as quickly as possible.

Consumption
"Electricity consumption shows an upward trend. Today, November 29, as of 8:30 AM, its level was 2.1% higher than at the same time last Saturday. The reason is the application of a smaller volume of forced restrictions in most regions," Ukrenergo indicated.
Yesterday, November 28, the daily peak consumption was in the evening - at the same level as the peak of the previous day.
"The need for economical electricity consumption remains today. Please limit the use of powerful electrical appliances. If possible, postpone energy-intensive processes to night hours - after 10:00 PM. Economical electricity consumption will contribute to a shorter duration of forced outages," Ukrenergo emphasized.
