    Ukraine’s power grid is facing a capacity shortage that has to be compensated for by attracting emergency assistance from European neighbours. This was stated by Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal at a regular Government session on 12 December.

    “Ukraine has entered a stable winter temperature regime. This means that the load on our energy system has increased. And at the same time the enemy is trying to do as much damage as possible to the Ukrainian energy sector,” the Prime Minister said.

    Denys Shmyhal said that Ukraine had already broken two consumption records for the heating season. The highest figures were recorded on 7 and 11 December.

    “Today, every Ukrainian can contribute to our energy sustainability. All it takes is to save electricity, especially during peak hours in the evening and morning. Reasonable consumption will help balance the power system and avoid scheduled outages,” the Head of Government stressed.

    The Prime Minister stressed that the solidarity of Ukrainians last winter thwarted the intentions of the russians to plunge Ukraine into darkness: “I am convinced that we will be able to repeat this victory this year.”
