This was reported by the national power grid operator, NEK Ukrenergo.
Consequences of Shelling

Consumption Dynamics and Recommendations
Today, July 23, as of 09:30, the level of electricity consumption was on par with the same period of the previous day.
Yesterday, July 22, the daily peak consumption recorded in the evening was 2.8% lower than the peak on Tuesday, July 21. The primary driver behind the reduced load was a drop in air temperature across Ukraine, leading to lower air conditioner usage among consumers.
Nevertheless, energy experts advise shifting the use of high-power electrical appliances to the daytime — from 10:00 to 16:00 — during the peak efficiency hours of industrial solar power plants.
The status of the power system remains fluid and subject to change, so consumers are advised to monitor official updates.
