As of the morning of June 25, Russian shelling has left users without power in five regions.
According to Ukrinform, the NPC Ukrenergo reported this on Facebook.
“Russia continues to attack civilian energy infrastructure facilities. As a result of enemy strikes, there are new power outages in the Donetsk, Kharkiv, Sumy, Kherson, and Zaporizhzhia regions as of this morning. Wherever security conditions currently allow, emergency repair work is already underway," the statement reads.
As of 9:30 a.m. on Thursday, electricity consumption was 3.7% higher than the previous day. The reason for the increase is the continued hot weather across Ukraine, prompting consumers to use air conditioners more frequently.
Ukrenergo advises shifting peak electricity consumption to the period when industrial solar power plants operate most efficiently, from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., and, between 6:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m., using electricity sparingly and avoiding turning on several high-power appliances at the same time.
