Electricity consumption in Ukraine is currently in line with seasonal norms. As of 09:30 on August 14, consumption remained at the same level as the previous day.

On Wednesday, August 13, the daily peak consumption was recorded in the evening, which was 1.6% lower than the peak on Tuesday, August 12. The decrease in load is attributed to cooling weather and a reduced need for air conditioning across most regions.

Power engineers encourage consumers to shift the use of energy-intensive appliances to the hours of peak industrial solar generation, specifically between 10:00 and 17:00.

Meanwhile, Russian drone attacks and artillery shelling have caused new power outages this morning in the Donetsk, Kharkiv, and Sumy regions. Emergency repair work is currently underway wherever the security situation permits.

Consumers are reminded that grid conditions may change and are advised to follow official updates on the websites and social media channels of their local distribution system operators.
