Next week, there is a possibility that blackout schedules will be re-introduced in Ukraine due to hot weather, which could significantly increase electricity consumption. This was announced by the Deputy Minister of Energy of Ukraine Svitlana Hrynchuk during the broadcast of the Yedyni Novyny telethon.
Svitlana Grynchuk noted that the predicted rise in temperature may lead to an increase in electricity consumption, which in turn may encourage energy companies to return to the use of blackout schedules. In this regard, she urged citizens to use electricity sparingly, especially during periods of peak load, such as morning and evening hours. It is recommended to limit the use of powerful electrical appliances and air conditioners if possible.
"What we will observe next week may lead to the fact that energy companies will have to apply blackout schedules," Grynchuk said.
The Ministry of Energy also called on businesses to actively import electricity, which, according to the department, will help avoid potential restrictions on the supply of electricity.
In addition, Grynchuk reported that repair work on energy facilities, which suffered as a result of enemy attacks, continues throughout the country. Consumers must maintain the stability of the energy system through the rational use of electricity.
We will remind that on August 8, electricity for the population was for some time subject to restrictions only for industry.
