Electricity consumption has been on the rise in recent days amid a drop in the average daily temperature across Ukraine, reported NEC "Ukrenergo" on Wednesday.
"As of 7:30 AM on February 5, the consumption level was 2.8% higher than at the same time the previous day," noted the NAEC.
Meanwhile, on Tuesday, February 4, the daily maximum consumption recorded in the morning was 3.4% higher than the maximum on Monday, February 3.
"The situation in the energy system can change. Stay updated by following the messages on the websites and official social media pages of your distribution system operator (oblenergo)," warned the system operator for consumers.
At the same time, according to the Ministry of Energy of Ukraine, over the past day, energy workers restored power to 5,310 consumers who had been disconnected due to military actions.
Currently, energy workers are taking necessary measures to stabilize the energy system following the shelling of energy infrastructure. Restoration work at damaged energy facilities is ongoing.
