On Monday, May 13, at the request of Ukraine, an emergency supply of electricity was carried out from Poland, Romania, and Slovakia, while the involvement of emergency aid is also expected during the hours of the evening peak of electricity consumption.

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

Also, due to the lack of electricity on Monday in the evening hours, consumption restrictions for industrial consumers are possible.

According to the report, the needs of consumers were covered by own generation, commercial imports, and emergency assistance from the power systems of Poland, Romania, and Slovakia.

"The total volume of emergency energy supply was less than 2% of the daily electricity consumption. Also yesterday, during the day, Ukraine provided emergency assistance to Poland - it received excess electricity from the country's power system. In the southern regions, in order to prevent overloading of the equipment of one of the high-voltage substations, the operator of the transmission system during the day hours limited the production of electricity from renewable energy sources," the message says.

Import of electricity in the amount of 19,484 MWh is forecast for the current day.

As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, Minister of Energy Herman Halushchenko allows further restrictions on electricity consumption due to significant losses of generating capacity after enemy shelling.
