Consumers in three regions were left without power due to Russian strikes
As of the morning of August 14, consumers in the Donetsk, Kharkiv, and Sumy regions were left without power due to new Russian drone attacks and artillery shelling.
Emergency repair work is already underway wherever the security situation allows.
Utility workers are working to restore power to all customers as quickly as possible.
“As a result of Russian drone attacks and artillery shelling, there are new power outages in the Donetsk, Kharkiv, and Sumy regions as of this morning. Emergency repair work is already underway wherever security conditions currently permit. Power company workers are doing everything possible to restore power to all consumers as quickly as possible,” the statement reads.
At the same time, electricity consumption as of 9:30 a.m. on August 14 was at the same level as the previous day.
Ukrenergo recommended that Ukrainians shift their peak electricity usage to the period between 10:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. It is during this time that industrial solar power plants operate most efficiently, which helps reduce the load on the power grid.
This was reported by NEC “Ukrenergo” on Facebook.
