Electricity consumption in Ukraine remains aligned with seasonal averages. As of 09:30 on Monday, September 28, demand held at the same level recorded at the same time on the previous business day, Friday, September 25, according to national grid operator Ukrenergo.

On Sunday, September 27, the daily peak consumption occurred during evening hours and was 2.9% higher than that of the previous Sunday, September 20. Energy authorities urge consumers to manage their usage responsibly: shift energy-intensive tasks to the peak generation window of industrial solar power plants between 11:00 and 15:00, and curb electricity use during the evening peak from 17:00 to 22:00.

Ongoing Russian strikes against energy infrastructure have led to new power outages across Zaporizhzhia, Donetsk, Dnipropetrovsk, Kharkiv, Chernihiv, Sumy, Kyiv, and Odesa regions. Emergency repair operations are being launched as soon as security conditions allow.

Separately, adverse weather conditions have left 11 settlements fully or partially without electricity in the Sumy and Poltava regions. Local distribution system operator repair crews are actively working to restore the affected overhead power lines.
