Will there be schedules
"No restrictions are forecast for today," the Ministry of Energy stated.
Active energy consumption today, as noted, should be shifted to daytime hours - from 11:00 to 15:00.
According to Ukrenergo, electricity consumption has increased. Today, July 8, as of 09:30, it was 4.3% higher than at the same time the previous day – on Tuesday. The reason for the changes is cloudy weather in most regions of Ukraine. This causes low efficiency of household solar power plants and a corresponding increase in the volume of energy consumption from the general grid. Yesterday, July 7, the daily maximum consumption was recorded in the evening. It was 1.6% higher than the maximum of the previous day – on Monday, July 6.
