Consumption Dynamics and Recommendations for Citizens
According to data from energy authorities, as of the morning of June 10, electricity consumption fully aligns with seasonal patterns and remains at the same level as the previous day.
However, on the prior evening of June 9, the daily peak consumption was recorded during the late hours. It reached a level 1.2% higher than Monday's peak load on June 8.
Given the current weather conditions, consumers are strongly encouraged to shift the operation of all high-power electrical appliances (such as washing machines, water heaters, and irons) to the daytime hours — between 10:00 and 16:00. This timeframe marks the most productive operational window for industrial solar power plants, allowing the grid to cover capacity demands without placing additional stress on thermal or hydro generation.
Conversely, during the evening peak — from 18:00 to 22:00 — the urgent need for conservative electricity consumption remains. Citizens are requested to limit the use of energy-intensive appliances during these hours.
Consequences of Shelling and Restoration Efforts
The grid situation remains challenging due to continuous Russian attacks targeting Ukraine's civilian energy infrastructure. As of this morning, network damage has resulted in power outages for consumers across six regions:
-
Kharkiv
-
Donetsk
-
Dnipropetrovsk
-
Zaporizhzhia
-
Odesa
-
Kherson
In all designated regions, emergency repair operations are underway wherever safety conditions permit and the threat of further strikes is mitigated. Grid crews are working around the clock to restore reliable power supply to all affected subscribers as quickly as possible.
Experts warn that the situation within the power grid is highly dynamic and subject to change based on consumption levels and security factors. Operational teams continue their 24/7 monitoring of the national grid.
