Consumption
As reported by Ukrenergo, electricity consumption corresponds to seasonal indicators, and today, December 8, as of 9:30 AM, its level is 15.2% lower than at the same time on the previous working day. The reason is the forced application of a larger volume of restriction measures.
Yesterday, December 7, the daily maximum consumption was in the evening - 16.5% higher than the maximum of the previous Sunday.
"The need for economical energy consumption remains. Please, limit the use of powerful electrical appliances as much as possible today. If possible, postpone energy-intensive processes to night hours - after 11:00 PM. Economical electricity consumption will contribute to a shorter duration of forced outages," Ukrenergo emphasized.
