Yasno CEO Sergey Kovalenko explained why the situation in the energy system of the capital remains difficult today. According to him, Kyiv receives only 60% of the required volumes due to the state of networks and generation.. Of this available volume, 40% goes to critical infrastructure facilities. The rest of the OSR will be distributed among consumers.

“It is created in such a way that consumption is now very uneven throughout the day, the volume of the deficit fluctuates. If at lunchtime there is enough electricity within the gray zones of the graphs, then in the evening, when everyone comes home, consumption goes beyond the limits and the gray zones are completely turned off,” Kovalenko said on his Facebook page..

The weather makes us use electrical appliances more, take out heaters. This puts too much stress on the system and increases the deficit..

Secondly, some generating facilities went for scheduled repairs.

They are now trying to balance this lack of generation with the help of hydroelectric power plants.. And here lies the answer to the question of why they began to turn off at night. Since the resource of hydroelectric power plants is exhaustive, they cannot work 24/7. Just at night, hydroelectric power stations are recruited.

As Ukrenergo noted earlier, the situation in the energy system of Ukraine remains difficult due to a significant decrease in temperature in the east and in the center of the country, as a result, consumption has increased and the power shortage has increased..
