Electricity consumption has increased against the backdrop of cloudy weather and rain in the western regions of Ukraine, Ukrenergo reported.
"Active energy consumption today should be shifted to daytime hours - from 10:00 to 17:00. In the evening hours, we ask consumers, if possible, to use electricity sparingly - from 18:00 to 22:00. This helps reduce the load on the system," the Ministry of Energy indicated.
