Shelling Aftermath and Restoration Efforts
Russia continues targeting Ukraine's civilian power infrastructure. As of this morning, new outages were recorded in six regions:
-
Donetsk Oblast;
-
Kharkiv Oblast;
-
Chernihiv Oblast;
-
Zaporizhzhia Oblast;
-
Odesa Oblast;
-
Mykolaiv Oblast.
Emergency and repair crews are working wherever the security situation allows, striving to restore power to all affected consumers as quickly as possible.
Consumption Trends and Recommendations
Today, August 24, as of 09:30, electricity consumption was 9.2% lower compared to the same time on the previous working day (Friday, August 21).
Key factors easing grid demand:
-
Lower air temperatures across most regions;
-
Sunny weather nationwide, enabling efficient output from rooftop and domestic solar power installations.
Yesterday, August 23, the daily peak consumption occurred in the evening, matching the peak recorded on the previous Sunday, August 16.
Given the weather conditions and peak generation hours of commercial solar power plants, power grid operators advise moving heavy electricity usage to daytime hours — between 10:00 and 16:00.
