"Consumption is showing an upward trend. Today, December 23, as of 9:30 a.m., its level was 2.5% higher than at the same time on the previous business day - Friday, December 20. This is due to the traditional increase in consumption at the beginning of the working week, cloudy weather and a decrease in air temperature in most regions," Ukrenergo said.
Yesterday, December 22, the daily maximum consumption was recorded in the evening. It was 2.3% lower than the previous day's maximum on Saturday, December 21.
"As the Ukrainian power system continues to recover from 12 massive Russian attacks since the beginning of this year, it still has a significant power shortage. Therefore, the need for economical electricity consumption remains," the company emphasized.
Ukrainians are urged not to turn on several powerful electrical appliances at the same time from 8:00 to 20:00
