Electricity consumption in Ukraine rose by 4,1% — restrictions and outage schedules

On 13 жовтня electricity consumption in Ukraine rose by 4,1% compared with the same time the previous day, reports reports «Укренерго». As of 09:30 the increase stood at 4,1% compared with Monday, the statement says.

According to «Укренерго», the reason for the rise in consumption is cloudy weather across almost the entire territory of Ukraine, which reduces output from household solar power stations and forces greater use of energy from the general grid. The statement also includes a recommendation: Ukrainians are advised to limit the use of high-power electrical appliances from 16:00 to 22:00.

«Укренерго» reports that, as a result of enemy shelling, there are new outages this morning in Chernihiv, Kharkiv, Donetsk and Zaporizhzhia oblasts. The statement says that where security conditions allow, emergency restoration work has already begun, and energy crews are doing everything possible to reconnect affected consumers as quickly as possible.

Note that on Tuesday, 13 жовтня, individual power-cut schedules were introduced in Kyiv, reports reports the press service of ДТЕК Київські електромережі. The press office explains that there is no need to look for your building in group lists — each address has its own personalised schedule.

The press service of ДТЕК Київські електромережі adds that individual schedules are calculated separately for each building and may differ even for neighbouring structures due to the specifics of the supply scheme and the technical capabilities of the network. The current schedule can be checked in the official services of ДТЕК Київські електромережі and in the Kyiv Digital app, the press service says.
