As of the morning of June 19, new power outages affecting users have been reported in six regions as a result of Russian attacks; electricity consumption in Ukraine has increased due to rising temperatures.
According to Ukrinform, the NPC Ukrenergo reported this on Facebook.
“The enemy continues to attack Ukraine’s civilian energy infrastructure. As a result, as of this morning, there are new power outages in the Kharkiv, Sumy, Dnipropetrovsk, Zaporizhzhia, Mykolaiv, and Kherson regions,” the statement reads.
It is noted that emergency repair work is already underway where safety conditions allow. Energy workers are doing everything possible to restore power to all users as quickly as possible, the company added.
Electricity consumption has also increased. As of 9:30 a.m. on June 19, it was 3.1% higher than at the same time the previous day. This is due to rising air temperatures in some regions, which has led to increased use of air conditioners.
