In Ukraine, as of 11:00 a.m. on January 9, electricity consumption increased due to frost and increased consumption by industry and business with the start of the working week.

NEC "Ukrenergo" informed about the current situation in the energy system of Ukraine.

In this regard, in order to balance the energy system, consumption limits have been set for all regions, which are valid from 04:00 to 24:00.

If they are exceeded, emergency restrictions will have to be applied.

Ukrainians are urged to use electricity sparingly and turn on energy-consuming devices alternately

, because this allows to reduce the load on the power system and reduce the need to apply restrictions.

"The situation with electricity supply in the front-line regions in the east and south remains difficult due to significant damage to power grids during hostilities. In addition,

at night the Russians fired at one of the generation facilities in the south of the country

. Currently,

the power system is unable to cover consumption in full due to damage and occupation by the enemy of a number of power plants that produce electricity, including the most powerful Zaporizhzhya NPP

," the message says. 

"Ukrenergo", electricity producers and operators of distribution systems are constantly working to restore damaged facilities hit by enemy missile and drone attacks.

We will remind, the head of the Center for Military and Legal Research, military expert Oleksandr Musienko believes that

 Russia's energy missile terror against Ukraine is failing thanks to the help of partners

.

Ukraine is managing to restore its damaged energy infrastructure faster than the Russians are doing damage.

Previously, the general director of the energy supply company YASNO Serhiy Kovalenko explained that every -5 degrees outside is +250 MW before consumption.

He also warned Kyiv residents about the

 possibility of local accidents due to frost.
