Ukrenergo clarified whether power outages will resume on July 31
According to a statement from NEC "Ukrenergo," there are no plans to implement power outage schedules across Ukraine on Friday, July 31.
The company is urging citizens to use electricity sparingly and, whenever possible, to use energy-intensive appliances during daytime hours—from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
NEC Ukrenergo announced this on Facebook.
Due to the arrival of an abnormal heat wave, Ukraine may face a significant increase in electricity consumption as early as next week. According to forecasts, the load on the power grid could increase by approximately 1 gigawatt, creating a risk of a return to hourly power outage schedules.
On the temporarily occupied Crimean Peninsula, local residents are reporting prolonged power outages, fuel shortages, rising prices, and problems with social infrastructure. According to them, the situation is particularly dire in the northern regions of the peninsula.
