As of the morning of June 12, Russian attacks have left users without power in five frontline regions; electricity consumption has increased.
According to Ukrinform, the NPC Ukrenergo reported this on Facebook.
“As a result of Russian attacks on civilian energy infrastructure facilities, as of this morning, there are new power outages in the Sumy, Kharkiv, Chernihiv, Donetsk, and Dnipropetrovsk regions. Where security conditions currently allow, emergency restoration work has begun,” the statement reads.
As of 9:30 a.m. on Friday, electricity consumption is 7.6% higher than the previous day. The downward trend in consumption is due to cloudy weather in western and parts of central Ukraine, which reduces the efficiency of residential solar power plants.
