By order of the Ministry of Energy, a separate day will be allocated for each region of Ukraine, on this day the operators will measure the hourly load on the grids in order to review the limits for each region and improve stabilization interruption programs.
From Tuesday, January 24 to Tuesday, February 2, each region of Ukraine will have a day without power outages. The corresponding decision was made by Ukrenergo.
By order of the Ministry of Energy, on the day of the power cut, electrical engineers will measure the hourly active load on the grids to obtain accurate information about the actual consumption volume in the region.
This is necessary so that experts can calculate the actual electricity needs for each region of Ukraine separately.
By February 10, distribution system operators must report the work done to Ukrenergo and the Ministry of Energy and submit the final results.
The day when electricity will not be cut off for consumers will be determined separately for each region. These days, Ukrainians are asked to use household appliances as in peacetime. This is necessary for more accurate calculations.
But as the ministry warns, if the power outage approaches a critical level, or if the Russian Armed Forces re-attacks Ukraine’s critical infrastructure with missiles and kamikaze drones, the energy industry will have to revert to emergency and stabilization shutdown programs.
It should be noted that Ukraine’s energy system has already survived 12 enemy missile attacks and 14 UAV attacks on energy facilities. In addition, more than 10 GW of the main installed power is not yet available for the Ukrainian energy system and is under enemy control. These are the largest in Ukraine and Europe Zaporozhye NGS, Zaporizhzhya TPP, Luhansk TPP, Uglegorsk TPP, Kakhovskaya HEPP. In addition, the majority of wind and solar power plants are located in the temporarily occupied areas of the southern regions.
Recall that on January 24, DTEK canceled its decision not to turn off the electricity in one of the regions. Regime measurements of the electrical load, to which the next planned power outages will depend, have been postponed to another day.
Focus He also wrote that on January 24, there will be no day-long power outages in two regions of Ukraine. Electricity distribution system operators in the Poltava and Ivano-Frankivsk regions announced on Tuesday that there will be no electricity restrictions for consumers.
