Electricity consumption in Ukraine is growing
Emergency restoration work continues at energy facilities damaged by massive missile and drone attack
Electricity consumption is increasing. This is reported by NPC Ukrenergo.
Today, November 20, at 5:00, the level of electricity consumption was 1.6% higher than at the same time the previous day, November 19. This is explained by the continued power supply of consumers in the Odessa region who were previously cut off due to Russian shelling. Emergency restoration work in the region is ongoing.
Yesterday, November 19, the daily maximum consumption was recorded in the evening. It was 6% higher than the previous day - on Monday, November 18. This is explained by the application of a smaller amount of restrictions at this time.
The power system is being restored after 10 massive attacks by Russians. Emergency and scheduled repairs are ongoing at power facilities. There is a significant capacity deficit in the power system. Therefore, to balance the power system, in the period from 6:00 to 22:00, hourly outage schedules of one turn are in effect in most regions today.
The schedule of outages in each region can be found on the websites and official pages in social networks of distribution system operators (oblenergo).
