“Temporary controlled restrictions of all categories of consumers are necessary to reduce the load on networks, support sustainable balancing of the energy system and avoid repeated accidents. Dear Ukrainians, please do not abandon the habit of consciously treating electricity consumption. Especially during the hours of morning and evening peak consumption,” Ukrenergo emphasized.
