Emergency shutdowns were introduced in Kyiv and in two regions.
This morning emergency shutdowns are used in the Kyiv, Kyiv and Dnipropetrovsk regions. On February 17, the DTEK official channel announced this on Telegram.
The other day, Ukrenergo said that the period of significant cooling, which was observed since the beginning of February, led to a significant increase in electricity consumption. Earlier, the Ukrainian energy system had a large margin of safety and without hesitation of temperature to create problems for it, but now the situation is radically different.
From -in mass Russian attacks, the energy system of Ukraine has lost most of the generation potential. There is constantly repair at energy facilities. But it is impossible to restore everything, everywhere and quickly, ”the company emphasized.
Energy reported that in the cold season, consumers massively use various heaters, turn on the warm floor, more often use electric media, boilers and air conditioners for heating. And from the simultaneous translation of such powerful devices leads to overloading the system.
We will recall that on the night of February 16, Russian drones damaged the thermal power plant in Nikolaev. There are 46 thousand subscribers without heat supply. In the city there were inextricable points and connected three modular boilers in medical institutions.
