Electricity consumption limited for Kharkiv Region and Dnipropetrovsk Region on Wednesday

On Wednesday, April 24, the consumption of electricity in the Kharkiv Region and for industrial enterprises in Kryvyi Rih, Dnipropetrovsk Region, is limited.

This follows from a statement by the Ministry of Energy, the Ukrainian News agency reports.

"Due to network restrictions on the lines of the transmission system operator, blackout schedules were applied yesterday in the Kharkiv Region and for industrial enterprises in Kryvyi Rih. Restrictions in these regions are still in effect today. During the evening peak hours, power limitation schedules were applied for industrial consumers in all regions except for the Kherson Region. Last day, the needs of consumers were covered by their own generation, commercial imports and emergency assistance from Poland, Slovakia, and Romania. The total volume of emergency supply was about 2.5% of the daily electricity consumption," the report said.

Emergency supply of electricity from these countries and the current day is also carried out.

For the current day, the import of electricity in the amount of 13,764 MWh is forecast, but the export of electricity is not expected.

As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, the Ministry of Energy notes that the industry's use of imported electricity will avoid blackouts and increase the stability of the energy system.
