Electricity capacity shortage reduced in Ukraine, Ukrenergo reports. This is due to the fact that a block of one of the thermal power plants, restored after Russian massive shelling, was connected to the network..

“The power deficit in the system was somewhat reduced due to the increase in production volumes of power plants. After emergency recovery work, a unit at one of the thermal power plants, which was damaged during one of the latest Russian missile attacks, was included in the network..

However, Ukrenergo emphasized that the power available in the system is still not enough to satisfy all the needs of consumers.. After all, along with the increase in power, the level of electricity consumption also increased..

“This is due to the gradual return to operation of the power grids damaged during massive attacks, as well as the restoration of the energy infrastructure in the de-occupied territories.. Accordingly, the number of consumers who have at least partially restored power supply has also increased, and the volume of industry consumption is also growing,” Ukrenergo explained..

Therefore, consumption limits are set in all areas. Their excess leads to the need for emergency shutdowns to balance the power system.
