Decrease in Electricity Consumption in Ukraine
As of the morning of April 21, electricity consumption in Ukraine has decreased by 12.6% compared to the previous working day - April 18.
NEC “Ukrenergo” reported on Facebook that electricity consumption continues to decline in Ukraine, as noted by Ukrinform.
“Electricity consumption decreased. Today, April 21, as of 9:30, the level was 12.6% lower than the previous working day - on Friday. This is due to a non-working day declared by some employers,” the agency cites the company's statement.
Additionally, sunny and warm weather across Ukraine is contributing to reduced electricity consumption from the national grid.
Ukrenergo advises shifting active energy consumption to the time when solar power plants operate most efficiently, from 8:00 to 18:00.
It is worth noting that a week ago, on April 15, the heating season for 2024/2025 officially ended in Ukraine.
Heat supply has ceased in all regions; however, certain social institutions - hospitals, kindergartens, and schools - will continue to receive heating under specific temperature conditions.
How many times has the Russian Federation attacked Ukraine's energy system during the heating season?
Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal announced the successful completion of the third heating season amidst full-scale war, despite numerous Russian attacks on the country's energy system.
According to him, during the heating season of 2024/2025, Russia carried out 9 massive and dozens of smaller attacks on the Ukrainian energy system.
“And despite all this, we endured. In the homes of millions of Ukrainians, in schools and hospitals, there was light and heat. Our enterprises also operated without significant restrictions,” the Prime Minister stated.
