Electricity consumption in Ukraine increases on July 9
There is a need to use electricity economically from 4:00 PM to 10:00 PM
Accogrdin to the press service of NPC Ukrenergo, electricity consumption in Ukraine today, Wednesday, July 9, is showing a growing trend. As of 9:30 a.m., its level was 3.1% higher than on the morning of the previous day, Tuesday.
The reason for this in "Ukrenergo" is called hot weather throughout Ukraine, which causes the use of air conditioners. In addition, due to high cloudiness in some regions, the efficiency of household solar power plants (SPPs) is reduced.
Yesterday, July 8, the daily maximum consumption was recorded in the evening. It was 2.3% higher than the maximum of the previous working day - on Monday.
Despite the increase in electricity consumption, the country's power system is balanced on July 9, and no planned restrictions for consumers are foreseen, the Ministry of Energy reports.
At the same time, Ukrenergo emphasizes the need to use electricity economically from 4:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. Consumers are asked to limit the use of powerful electrical appliances during this time and not turn on several electrical appliances at the same time.
The transmission system operator also reports that as of Wednesday morning, 681 settlements in six regions were completely or partially without power due to adverse weather conditions (heavy rain, thunderstorms). Regional energy company crews are working to repair damage to the lines in order to restore power to all subscribers as soon as possible.
As reported by "Ukrainian Energy", as a result of a thunderstorm and strong gusts of wind on the morning of July 8, residents of 701 settlements in six western regions of Ukraine were left without electricity.
