NPC Ukrenergo recommends that Ukrainians reduce consumption during peak hours, as some energy facilities are undergoing repairs.
“Air conditioners are actively buzzing in the houses, and the consumption rate is growing rapidly on the monitors of Ukrenergo dispatchers. As of 16:00, we have already crossed the threshold of the evening maximum consumption for yesterday. To ensure such a sharp rise in demand, electricity production must increase. But the capacity of power plants is now limited,” the press service of the Ukrenergo said company on Telegram.
It is noted that many power units of thermal and hydroelectric power plants are out of operation due to damage or are shut down for repairs. Also, several nuclear power units are undergoing scheduled repairs necessary for their active operation in winter.
Ukrenergo is convinced that every Ukrainian can help the power industry right now by reducing consumption.
To do this, in the evening (from 4 pm to 11 pm), it is recommended not to use air conditioning or to use it in an energy-efficient mode, not cooling the room below 23 degrees C. Also, if possible, it is needed to reduce the use of an electric teapot and iron from 4 pm to 11 pm.
In addition, the use of powerful devices (washing machine, boiler) should be postponed to nighttime, using them alternately to distribute the load. (Ukrinform/Business World Magazine)
