Due to shelling, consumers in Sumy and Kryvyi Rih are partially without heat and gas supply; there is no electricity shortage

POWER GENERATION AND CONSUMPTION

Deteriorating weather conditions led to an increase in electricity consumption. Compared to the previous day, electricity consumption increased by more than 8%.

At the same time, the electricity generated by Ukrainian power plants is sufficient to meet the needs of consumers. Despite the emergency short-term repairs of two TPP units, there are 7 units of generating equipment at thermal power plants in reserve to be used if necessary. Commercial electricity imports and exports are planned.

The situation is under control. The system is balanced. No blackout schedules are applied.

CONSEQUENCES OF SHELLING

In Kryvyi Rih, 430 gas consumers in high-rise buildings were disconnected from gas supply following a missile strike.

In Sumy, 16 apartment buildings are left without heating after a drone attack.

In Khmelnytskyi region, more than 3,500 consumers in 14 settlements were cut off from electricity supply due to bad weather. In Kyiv region, 8 settlements were left without power due to severe weather conditions. Restoration works are ongoing.

EMERGENCIES

A 53-year-old worker died at a coal mine in Donetsk region as a result of workplace injuries.
