New power outage schedules: 'Ukrenergo' announced the regime for November 25.
The National Energy Company 'Ukrenergo' reports that due to low temperatures, electricity consumption in Ukraine has significantly increased. According to the company, the current consumption level exceeds last Friday's figures by 3.7%.
Furthermore, the daily maximum consumption of electricity on November 24 surpassed the corresponding figures from last Saturday by 3%. The situation is complicated by the fact that the energy system has not yet fully recovered from cyberattacks and has a significant power deficit aggravated by Russia.
To balance the load on the energy system, scheduled power outages will be implemented across all regions of the country on Monday, November 25, for six hours (from 14:00 to 20:00).
Severe weather conditions, such as heavy precipitation and wind, have led to power outages in 67 settlements in Chernihiv and Sumy regions. Emergency teams are working to restore power supply, which is expected to be restored by the end of the day.
To compensate for the electricity deficit, Ukraine plans to import 9,253 MWh of electricity from Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Hungary, and Moldova. The maximum import capacity in certain hours will be 650 MW.
Emergency and planned repair work continues on energy facilities with the aim of restoring infrastructure.
As for the duration of the power outage schedules in Ukraine, there is currently insufficient information.
