Electricity consumption on Sunday slightly increased compared with Saturday due to a cold snap, and the capacity deficit remains significant, but limits were slightly increased, Ukrenergo said on Sunday.
“Thanks to the weekend, despite the cold snap, all oblenergos were given slightly higher consumption limits than yesterday for the entire day,” the company points out in a telegram message.
“Ukrenergo reminded that Russian missile and drone attacks damaged power plants (generating facilities) and the high voltage network, and the last attack on January 14 caused significant damage to several power units of thermal power plants. In addition, heat is being replaced by frost across the country, the company pointed out.
The night before, operators of six power distribution systems reported that Ukrenergo had raised its Sunday limits for Sunday: daytime limits by about 6% and nighttime limits by 2%.
