Ukrenergo urged Ukrainians to follow a number of rules: which ones and why
5 January 01:26
Over the next few days, Ukraine will experience a significant cold snap. That is why Ukrenergo urged Ukrainians to follow the rules of electricity saving, "Komersant Ukrainian" reports.
“The Ukrainian power system is still recovering from 13 massive enemy attacks over the past year. And the level of energy consumption in cold weather always increases significantly. To avoid the problem of electricity shortages, we need to follow simple recommendations,” the national energy company emphasized.
How to save electricity
Do not turn on several powerful electrical appliances at the same time during morning and evening peak consumption hours. This will reduce the load on the power grid and help balance the generation and consumption of electricity without the use of restrictive measures.
Turn off unnecessary lighting at home and at work. This will not only reduce the overall level of energy consumption in the country, but also save you money.
Unplug appliances that are not in use. Even in “standby mode,” household appliances consume a significant amount of electricity.
Boil only the necessary amount of water in an electric kettle. This will be faster, more economical and healthier, as the consumption of repeatedly boiled water is not recommended by doctors.
Use powerful electrical appliances during the hours of lowest consumption. Now it is night time, after 23:00.
Do not keep electrical devices on charge longer than necessary to fully charge the battery. This will be useful for the devices themselves and reduce your energy consumption.
Use energy-saving LED lamps. They consume several times less electricity than incandescent lamps.
