The operator warns that in the evening, when the power supply to the de-energized consumers is restored and the cold snap intensifies, the situation may become more complicated due to a sharp increase in consumption.
Ukrenergo appeals to consumers with a request:
Pay particular attention to the use of energy-intensive appliances during peak consumption hours from 16:00 to 19:00.
Production
As of the morning of 8 January, electricity generated by all types of power plants is enough to supply all legal and household consumers.
