Ukrainians are asked to save electricity by increasing its consumption

According to Ukrenergo data, despite the increase in electricity consumption in Ukraine, the energy system is functioning stably, and no blackouts are expected today. However, experts stress the importance of responsible consumption, especially during peak hours, to maintain system stability.

Reasons for growth in consumption

As of the morning of December 23, 2024, the level of electricity consumption in Ukraine increased by 2.5% compared to the same time on Friday, December 20. This growth was the result of several factors:

  • The beginning of the working week , which is traditionally accompanied by an increase in the activity of enterprises and offices.
  • Cloudy weather and a decrease in temperature , which caused a greater need to use electrical appliances for lighting and heating.

Despite this, the power system continues to demonstrate stable operation, as damaged objects are promptly restored. For example, on December 21, energy companies were able to restore electricity to more than 88,000 consumers who were left without power due to shelling.

How to support the stability of the energy system

To reduce the load on the power system, the import of electricity from neighboring countries is integrated. Ukraine receives electricity from Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Hungary and Moldova. As of December 23, the volume of imports amounted to 9,259 MWh, and the maximum capacity of imports at certain hours reached 1,042 MW. It is expected that this volume will increase to 11,015 MWh in the coming days.

Given the current state of the energy system, experts urge Ukrainians to use electricity sparingly, especially during peak hours from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. A simple approach to load shedding can ease the operation of the power system and reduce the risks of power outages.

Recommendations for consumers:

  1. Do not turn on several powerful electrical appliances at the same time.
  2. Use energy-saving lamps and household appliances.
  3. Avoid leaving electrical appliances on standby.
  4. Turn off lighting in unnecessary places.

Thanks to the import of electricity and the rational distribution of energy resources, the energy system is able to cope with increased load. This makes it possible to avoid blackouts and ensure a stable energy supply for millions of Ukrainians.
