6 August 2024 07:33
NPC Ukrenergo said that no power outages are expected on Tuesday, 6 August. This was reported by "Komersant Ukrainian" with reference to NPC Ukrenergo.
“No consumption restrictions will be applied on 6 August,” the statement said.
Ukrenergo urged to use powerful electrical appliances from 11:00 to 15:00 if possible.
“If the situation changes, we will inform you additionally about the use of blackouts,” the company added.
The situation in the Ukrainian energy sector
on 29 March 2024, Russia resumed its attacks on the Ukrainian energy sector, carrying out the most massive shelling in the entire period of the full-scale war. In particular, DniproHES and other Ukrainian energy facilities were hit. Since then, Russia has been regularly shelling Ukrainian energy infrastructure.
For example, the Russians destroyed the Trypillia and Zmiiv thermal power plants, causing Centrenergo to lose 100% of its generation. Also, 5 of DTEK’s 6 thermal power plants were severely damaged.
After that, power outages started again in Ukraine, Ukrenergo introduced blackout schedules and the government raised electricity tariffs by 60% at once.
At the same time, the Cabinet of Ministers decided to build two new units at the Khmelnytsky N PP and has already received the approval of the relevant parliamentary committee. The Razumkov Centre has criticised these plans, but some experts believe that only traitors or scoundrels are against the construction of nuclear power plants today.
