GENERATION, TRANSMISSION, CONSUMPTION

Due to massive Russian shelling, there is a capacity deficit in the power system. Yesterday, for its partial coverage, Ukraine additionally attracted emergency aid from the Polish energy system. Emergency aid was also involved today.
As of today, the hourly outage schedules are scheduled to operate from 00:00 to 24:00. If the situation changes, the information will be updated.
In Ukraine, the hot weather persists, so an increase in electricity consumption is possible, in particular due to the active use of air conditioners. We urge everyone to consume electricity sparingly. This enables energy companies to keep the power system more stable.
Shutdowns are not provided for critical infrastructure enterprises, as well as enterprises that import more than 80% of electricity for their needs in accordance with the government regulation.
We remind you that the main reason for electricity restrictions is enemy attacks on the energy infrastructure and the negative consequences of these attacks.
