The Government has issued a decree to reduce electricity consumption for all public authorities. This was announced by Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal.

"Ministries, central executive authorities, regional state administrations should refuse to use air conditioners, outdoor lighting of buildings and the surrounding area. We also recommend that law enforcement agencies, the judiciary, and other government agencies take similar steps. Local authorities should limit street lighting," the Prime Minister said.

Denys Shmyhal also called on businesses to limit the use of air conditioners and other energy-intensive equipment that is not critical for production activities.

"The only exception is the use of air conditioners in hospitals and enterprises where air conditioning is part of the operational process," the Prime Minister said.

The Prime Minister thanked the power engineers and all those who take a responsible approach to electricity consumption.
