“From 14:00 to 24:00 – to compensate for the energy deficit in the system, four queues of hourly outage schedules will be used, during the remaining hours — three stages,” the message says.
It is noted that electricity consumption in the country is at its maximum for the summer period. The reason for the restrictions is the abnormal heat in Ukraine and Europe with a significant energy shortage in the Ukrainian energy system as a result of massive Russian attacks.
Since the beginning of the year, the Russians have carried out 8 massive attacks on the Ukrainian energy system. As a result, the country lost 9 GW of the production capacity of Ukrainian power plants.
Such power is equal to the consumption in summer during peak hours of such European countries as the Netherlands, Finland or together Slovakia and the Baltic countries.
