On Monday, February 17, in Ukraine, the increase in electricity consumption increased due to cold and gloomy weather.
As reported by Ukrinform, NEC “Ukrenergo” reported on Facebook.
“Electric energy consumption has increased. Today, February 17, at 9:30 am, the electricity supply was 3.1% higher at this hour of the day. The reason is a noticeable colder weather, which is equal to the end of last year. And also – the weather is gloomy in most regions, which means the lower efficiency of household solar power plants,” says the source.
It appears that overnight there was a drone attack on energy facilities in several regions. As a result of damaged possessions, the wounded people are wounded. Repair crews of the oblenergo are already working on removing the remains of the shelling.
Ukrenergo guessed that the Ukrainian energy system will continue to suffer after the Russian massive missile and drone attacks. Emergency robots at power facilities are in trouble.
Due to the difficult situation in the energy system on February 17, from 06:00 to 09:00 in all regions, the supply of labor for industry and business was stagnated. Let's stand at once – the exchange will not become stagnant, but the need for careful consumption of electricity will be saved. Residents are asked to use heavy electrical appliances during the evening – from 16:00 to 20:00.
In addition, the Ministry of Energy reported that last year, life was restored for 16,706 people who were killed as a result of the fighting.
As it was reported, earlier in Ukraine on the 17th of January it was planned to cut off electrical power for industry and business, as there is little activity from 06:00 to 20:00.
