Details. It is noted that as of the morning of January 31, no emergency power cuts have been applied in any oblast, although energy consumption continues to grow due to the cold snap. However, given the upward trend in consumption during the day, the limits may be exceeded.

In addition, over the past day, several TPP units were taken out of service for technological reasons, so production cannot fully cover the volume of electricity consumption.

Previously. Ukrenergo significantly increased daily electricity consumption limits. The figure in the oblasts increased by almost 3%, and in the capital – by 4%.
