Ukrenergo and DTEK revealed their power supply plans for September 18.

The national energy company 'Ukrenergo' reports that no power supply restrictions are anticipated for Monday, September 18. However, the company urges citizens to be frugal in using electricity during peak consumption hours.

Ukrenergo recommends not turning on multiple high-power electrical appliances simultaneously from 4:00 PM to 10:00 PM. This is due to the ongoing power deficit in the Ukrainian energy system following mass attacks by Russian forces and emergency and planned repairs at energy facilities.

On September 17, the electricity consumption level at 9:30 AM was 1.2% higher than the previous Monday. The daily consumption peak on September 16 was recorded in the evening and remained at the level of the previous working day.

Ukraine continues to import electricity from Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Hungary, and Moldova with a total volume of 16 943 MWh, with maximum power in specific hours up to 1532 MW. There is no electricity export, and none is anticipated.

As a result of a nighttime attack on energy facilities in the Sumy region, the city of Sumy and parts of the Sumy and Chernihiv regions were left without power. Energy workers are working to repair the damage, and power supply is expected to be restored by evening.

As of the morning of September 17, due to combat and other reasons, 975 settlements were completely or partially without power. New power outages were recorded in the Sumy, Donetsk, Chernihiv, Kherson, and Kharkiv regions. Additionally, over 50 settlements were without power due to bad weather, mainly in the Khmelnytskyi region and also in the Chernihiv and Dnipropetrovsk regions.
