Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal called on Ukrainians to conserve electricity and on industry to maximize electricity imports and use alternative power sources, if available. He said this during a government meeting, reports UNN.
"For several days in a row, we have been recording a power deficit in the power system, which we are covering with the help of our European partners. Power engineers are doing everything possible to maintain the situation and carry out repairs quickly," said Shmyhal.
He noted that just like at the beginning of a full-scale war, we need to unite to be resilient.
"I urge Ukrainians to be economical, especially during morning and evening peak hours. And the industry - to maximize electricity imports and use alternative power sources, if available," Shmyhal said.
