"As a result of hostilities and shelling of energy facilities, some consumers in Zaporizhia, Kherson, Kharkiv, Sumy and Chernihiv regions are temporarily without electricity. Restoration work is ongoing wherever security conditions permit," the statement said.
Energy workers are doing everything possible to restore power to all consumers as soon as possible.
"The situation remains the most difficult in Odesa region. Restoration work is ongoing here. Following the massive attack on the region, energy workers have already managed to restore power to almost all consumers. However, to prevent equipment failures caused by overload, grid restrictions have to be imposed. The outages will be cancelled once the restoration work is fully completed," the Ministry of Energy said.
"The use of restrictions is not expected today. Active electricity consumption should be shifted to daytime hours—from 10:00 to 16:00. We ask consumers, where possible, to use electricity sparingly," the ministry said.
According to Ukrenergo, electricity consumption is showing an upward trend. Today, August 11, as of 09:30, it was 8.7% higher than at the same time the previous day—Monday. The reason for the change is the rise in air temperatures in most regions of Ukraine, prompting consumers to use air conditioners extensively. Yesterday, August 10, the daily consumption peak was recorded in the evening. It was 7.7% lower than the peak on the previous working day—Friday, August 7. The reason was that the heat had subsided compared with the end of the previous week.
