The lack of overall capacity of the Ukrainian power plants led to the fact that Ukrenergo had to use emergency assistance from Romania during the evening peak hours on May 27. It is reported by "

“Yesterday, May 27, 2023 from 21:00 to 22:00 to cover the evening peak of consumption, the energy system of Ukraine received emergency assistance from the energy system of Romania. Emergency assistance is not a commercial import. This is an ad hoc rapid response measure to balance the power grid.”.

The report notes that so far there is enough electricity to cover the needs of consumers, but in the evening it is necessary to carefully consume electricity..

The company noted that the night attack of the Russians by drones did not cause new damage to the energy infrastructure of the backbone networks..

Earlier, Ukrenergo predicted that a certain deficit in the energy system of Ukraine is possible in the middle of summer, when people start turning on air conditioners en masse.

At the same time, the parliament predicts that the government will have to raise electricity tariffs so that Ukrainians have electricity in winter. The National Commission for State Regulation in the Spheres of Energy and Utilities (NEURC) proposes to increase the electricity tariff for the population at the level of UAH 2.88/kWh (including VAT).
