We understand that the summer period will start now and consumption will increase, but we must help each other here. For their part, power engineers are doing everything they can. They work around the clock. But we also ask our consumers to understand that now they need to be very responsible about their energy consumption. Very responsibly, especially during peak load hours, peak consumption hours in the morning and evening
She noted that the power system may currently have a surplus during the day, as there are sunny days and a lot of renewable generation.
We even sent it to our neighbors yesterday, but in the evening we don't have enough, because when the daylight hours end, consumption increases and the generation system is not enough. Yesterday, we also had to get help from our partners. In other words, we transmit power during the day and have to engage them in the evening. While we are looking for these solutions to stabilize this situation, we ask our consumers to help us and shift the use of the most energy-intensive appliances to daytime hours, and try to save during peak hours
Recall

The chairman of the supervisory board of Centrenergo PJSC said that the restoration of the Tripoli TPP, which was destroyed by a Russian missile strike, without providing Ukraine with air defense systems is "a futile exercise.
