Turning off electricity to consumers this summer is the last measure to be applied in extreme cases. Volodymyr Kudrytsky, Chairman of the Board of NPC Ukrenergo, announced this on the air of the telethon.

He noted that the shortage of electricity in Ukraine in the summer will be covered by imports from Europe and an increase in the capacity of thermal generation.

" It can be handled in a number of ways, and consumer disconnection is the last one on the priority list..

The most obvious way to balance the Ukrainian energy system is to import electricity from EU countries,"

However, according to him, there is already a shortage in the energy system in the evening hours.. Therefore, Ukraine limits the export of electricity at this time and creates an additional burden on power units.. And the operation of solar generation allows you to balance the system in the morning and afternoon hours..

Earlier, Ukrenergo reported that they observed a shortage of capacity and reserves in the energy system, so they ask consumers to reduce the use of electrical appliances in the evening.
