Details: Emergency repair work has begun wherever the security situation permits.

Meanwhile, the energy system is seeing a rise in consumption. As of 09:30 on 15 April, it was 1.3% higher than at the same time the previous day. Overcast weather is cited as the reason.

Ukrainians are also being asked to shift active electricity use to the period from 10:00 to 16:00, when solar generation performs best, and to limit the use of high-powered electrical appliances from 18:00 to 22:00.

Background: Ukrenergo announced earlier that rolling power outages will not be applied to any consumer category in Ukraine on 15 April.
