Details: Energy workers are working flat out to restore electricity supply to all consumers as quickly as possible. Repair works are continuing around the clock.

Electricity consumption is showing an upward trend. As of 09:30 on 30 March, its level was 2.7% higher than at the same time on the previous working day – Friday 27 March. The reason is overcast weather in most regions, which reduces the efficiency of domestic solar power stations and leads to a corresponding increase in energy consumption from the general power grid.

Yesterday, 29 March, the daily peak in consumption was recorded in the evening. It was 5.3% lower than the peak of the previous Sunday – 22 March. The reason for this change is a significant warming across all regions of Ukraine.

Background: As of the morning of 26 March, some consumers in Dnipropetrovsk, Odesa, Sumy, Chernihiv, Zaporizhzhia and Kharkiv oblasts remained temporarily without electricity as a result of hostilities and Russian strikes on energy infrastructure facilities.
