As of the morning of February 1, there

is a significant deficit in the energy system

Electricity consumption is at the same level as on Tuesday, January 31.   

This was reported by the press service of NEC "Ukrenergo".

Ukrenergo explained that the reason for the deficit in the energy system is missile and drone attacks that damaged power plants and the high-voltage network.

"As a result of 13 missile and 15 drone Russian attacks, power plants (generating capacities) and high-voltage networks of the transmission system were damaged. The damage is complex and large-scale. The energy system is still recovering from the blows. In addition, several units of thermal power plants are under repair for technological reasons. As a result electricity production at operating power plants cannot fully cover consumption," the message reads.

All oblenergos have slightly increased consumption limits that apply throughout the day.

Exceeding the limits is not recorded at the moment.

But the company warns that

Energy workers also continue to restore energy infrastructure facilities damaged during the last massive attack on January 26.
