Ukrenergo named 'greedy' electrical appliances: how to reduce load and energy consumption.

Ukrenergo urges Ukrainians to be economical in their electricity consumption

Ukrenergo has made an important request to Ukrainians about rational electricity consumption. Due to the consequences of Russian attacks, Ukraine's energy system is in a critical state, so every conscious citizen can help prevent possible accidents.

Electricity consumption throughout the day is uneven. The highest loads occur during morning and evening hours when people wake up, get ready for work, or return home and switch on household appliances.

If Ukrainian power stations used to easily cover all peak loads, the situation has radically changed now. The 'margin of safety' in the energy system is almost non-existent, so covering peak consumption during cold or hot weather, or scheduled repairs is extremely difficult.

Ukrenergo specialists emphasized that it is not necessary to completely abandon electrical appliances. The main thing is to follow simple rules: minimize the use of powerful equipment, shift its use to off-peak periods, and avoid simultaneously turning on several appliances.

According to Ukrenergo data, the most electricity-consuming appliances are electric stoves (3.5-5 kW), air conditioners (2.5-3.2 kW), electric kettles, and irons (2-2.5 kW). Experts advise to use this equipment wisely, planning its operation during times of minimal load on the network.

'Following these simple recommendations will significantly help the energy system and reduce the likelihood of emergency outages,' Ukrenergo emphasizes.

Also, it has become known about 'invisible energy eaters': which 3 appliances are better not to leave in standby mode.
