Generation and consumption
Yesterday, due to grid constraints caused by the effects of previous Russian attacks, the transmission system operator reduced electricity generation from renewable energy sources in the western and southwestern regions to ensure safe operation of the power system during daytime hours.
During the evening peak load, due to the shortage of generation caused by massive hostile attacks on energy facilities, consumer restrictions were applied.

There will be no blackouts for critical infrastructure companies and companies that import 80% of their electricity in accordance with a government decree.
