Impact of Shelling and Adverse Weather
Russian strikes overnight and early this morning resulted in new power cuts across Donetsk, Dnipropetrovsk, Zaporizhzhia, Kharkiv, Sumy, and Mykolaiv oblasts.
Emergency repair crews have commenced restoration work wherever security conditions permit to restore power as quickly as possible.
Additionally, severe weather conditions have left four settlements without electricity in Chernihiv Oblast.
Consumption Trends and Grid Recommendations
As of 09:30 on Monday, August 31, electricity consumption remained steady, matching the levels recorded on the previous working day (Friday, August 28). The daily peak consumption on Sunday, August 30, occurred during the evening hours, remaining consistent with the peak observed the previous Sunday, August 23.
Grid operators recommend shifting energy-intensive tasks to the daytime window between 10:00 and 16:00, when industrial solar generation peaks. During the evening peak hours from 18:00 to 22:00, consumers are urged to use electricity prudently and avoid running multiple high-power appliances simultaneously.
