The most difficult summer period in the energy sector is over

The most difficult summer period in the Ukrainian energy system is over, and the situation has improved.

This was announced by Volodymyr Kudrytskyi, Chairman of the Board of NPC Ukrenergo, the company's press service reports.

“We have every reason to expect that the most difficult period of summer is over. We have had a very difficult couple of weeks and now the situation has really improved,” Kudrytskyi said.

“This is due to the fact that the heat wave has subsided, and thus electricity consumption has decreased.

Completion of repairs of a certain share of power facilities, which add capacity to the power system and reduce the deficit, also helped to mitigate the deficit.

“So instead of the complicated 3-4 queue regime, we have 1-2 queues that are applied depending on the time. In some hours, the deficit may be less, in some - a little more. And in some hours, we even have the option of not imposing any restrictions on electricity consumption,” added Kudrytskyi.

The head of the energy company explained that if there are no new large-scale damages to power plants, the situation will tend to improve.
