The company explained that it was  20:00 to 22:00 - the hours of maximum evening consumption. In this regard, there may be light restrictions for users.

It is noted that blackouts can be applied if certain consumption limits are exceeded, which the Ukrenergo Dispatch Center informs each regional power company every evening. 

The main reason for the restrictions is the impact of enemy missile attacks on Ukrainian power plants. As a result of five massive missile attacks from March to May, large thermal and hydroelectric power plants cannot produce as much electricity as before

- NPC Ukrenergo emphasizes.
