It should be noted that for this purpose planned to cancel the restrictions for each region on a specific day during these two weeks according to a certain schedule.

In such circumstances, the regional power distribution companies will not be able to comply with the principle of uniformity of consumption restrictions when conducting measurements in a particular region

Nevertheless, Ukrenergo assures that the summertime measurements will be carried out later, when the situation in the power system allows and the air temperature drops.

The measurements are necessary to ensure a more even and accurate distribution of the available power in the system among the regions
