Electricity consumption in Ukraine increases due to falling temperatures
Energy experts ask not to turn on several powerful electrical appliances at the same time from 8:00 to 20:00
Electricity consumption in Ukraine is showing a growing trend, according to NPC "UKrenergo".
Today, December 23, at 9:30 a.m., its level was 2.5% higher than at the same time the previous working day. This is explained by the traditional increase in consumption at the beginning of the working week, cloudy weather, and a decrease in air temperature in most regions.
Yesterday, December 22, the daily maximum consumption was recorded in the evening. It was 2.3% lower than the maximum on Saturday.
Currently, the Ukrainian power system is still recovering from twelve massive Russian attacks since the beginning of the year, and it still has a significant capacity deficit. Therefore, the need for economical electricity consumption remains.
Electricity imports from Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Hungary, and Moldova continue throughout the day. The total volume is 9,259 MWh, with a maximum capacity of up to 1,042 MW in individual hours.
As reported by "Ukrainian Energy", оne of the two power lines connecting the temporarily occupied Zaporizhzhia NPP to the unified power system of Ukraine was once again disconnected due to shelling by Russian military forces. This happened on Friday, December 20.
