At the same time, there remains a need to shift active consumption to daytime
"Electricity consumption corresponds to seasonal indicators. Today, June 6, as of 9:30, its level was the same as the previous day - Thursday," the press service of NPC Ukrenergo said in a statement.
Yesterday, June 5, the daily maximum consumption recorded in the evening was 1.2% higher than the maximum of the previous day — on Wednesday, June 4.
Also, according to Ukrenergo, due to adverse weather conditions (rain and thunderstorms) on Friday morning, June 6, 36 settlements in two regions were completely or partially without power. The regional power company's crews are already carrying out emergency restoration work to restore power to all subscribers as soon as possible, the transmission system operator assures.
According to the Ministry of Energy, as of June 6, the country's power system is balanced, and no planned restrictions for consumers are foreseen.
Scheduled repairs are being carried out to prepare energy facilities for the autumn-winter period and ensure stable operation in conditions of increased consumption in the summer, the Ministry of Energy reports. In turn, Ukrenergo reminds that the power system continues to recover after massive enemy missile and drone attacks.
Therefore, to help reduce the load on the power system, Ukrenergo and the Ministry of Energy call on consumers to use electricity rationally, especially during peak consumption hours in the morning and evening. Active consumption, i.e. the use of powerful electrical appliances, should be postponed to daytime hours - from 10:00 to 18:00.
Ukrenergo also emphasizes that the situation in the power system may change. Information about changes can be found on the websites and official pages in social networks of regional distribution system operators (oblenergo).
As reported by "Ukrainian Energy", at night the Russians carried out another combined attack on Ukraine, there are casualties. There are disruptions in the work of Ukrzaliznytsia, the surface metro in Kyiv is not working, there is no electricity in some regions.
