Details: Power engineers are operating in an intensified mode in order to restore the electricity supply to all consumers as quickly as possible.

Electricity consumption is showing a downward trend. As of 09:30 today 20 March, its level was 2.3% lower than at the same time on the previous day, Thursday.

This is due to favourable weather conditions across much of Ukraine. This ensures the efficient operation of household solar power stations and a corresponding decrease in electricity consumption from the national grid.
