Current schedules are posted on the official resources of regional distribution system operators.

Consumption
According to Ukrenergo, electricity consumption remains high. Today, November 13, as of 9:30, it was at the same level as at the same time yesterday.
On November 12, the daily maximum consumption was in the evening - 1.7% higher than the previous day's maximum.
"Given the consequences of Russian shelling and weather conditions, the need for economical energy consumption remains until the end of today. Please limit the use of powerful electrical appliances, move energy-intensive processes to nighttime, when the load on the energy system is minimal. Economical electricity consumption will contribute to a shorter duration of forced outages," Ukrenergo emphasized.
