As of the morning of September 9, Russian attacks have caused new power outages affecting consumers in five regions.
According to Ukrinform, NEC “Ukrenergo” reported this on Facebook.
“As a result of Russian drone attacks and artillery shelling, there are new power outages as of this morning in the Sumy, Chernihiv, Mykolaiv, Kharkiv, and Kyiv regions. Restoration work is already underway wherever safety conditions currently permit,” the statement reads.
As of 9:30 a.m. on Wednesday, electricity consumption is 1.7% higher than the previous day. Ukrenergo advises shifting peak electricity consumption to the period when industrial solar power plants operate most efficiently—from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. At the same time, energy officials are asking the public to limit the use of high-power appliances between 6:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m.
