Russian shelling has left consumers in six regions without power
As of the morning of August 3, new power outages caused by Russian shelling were reported in six regions of Ukraine. This was reported by the National Electricity Transmission System Operator “Ukrenergo.”
According to the company, some consumers in the Donetsk, Dnipropetrovsk, Kharkiv, Mykolaiv, Kherson, and Sumy regions were left without power. Where the security situation allows, emergency repair work is already underway.
At the same time, Ukrenergo reported an increase in electricity consumption. As of 9:30 a.m. on August 3, consumption was 4.4% higher than at the same time on the previous business day—July 31. The company attributes this to hot weather and heavy use of air conditioners.
In addition, the daily peak consumption on August 2 exceeded the previous Sunday’s figure by 3.2%.
The company urged Ukrainians to use high-power electrical appliances primarily between 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., when solar power plants operate most efficiently, and to limit electricity consumption in the evening—from 5:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m.—whenever possible.
This was reported on the company’s Facebook page.
As a reminder, on the morning of August 3, Russian troops attacked Chernihiv with strike drones. As a result of the attack, one of the city’s businesses was damaged, and a fire broke out at the site.
Over the past 24 hours, on August 2, Russian troops attacked the Mykolaiv region with drones, injuring two people. The Russian strikes damaged a high school, three vessels, an agricultural enterprise, and a private home.
