Power generation and consumption

No electricity deficit has been recorded and is not expected for the current day. Electricity generated in Ukraine is sufficient to meet the needs of household consumers and industry. Commercial electricity imports are also taking place.

TPPs and CHPPs in the eastern regions were offline for technical reasons. TPPs have already resumed operation.

Three units of thermal power plants in different regions are undergoing short-term emergency repairs.

These situations do not affect the supply of electricity to consumers. The situation is under control. The power system is balanced. There are no restrictions on electricity supply in any region.
