The deficit of electricity in the power system has decreased thanks to the increase in its production by industrial and rooftop solar power plants.
This was announced by the press service of the Ukrenergo national energy company, Ukrainian News Agency reports.
"Today, from 00:00 to 11:00 a.m. in all regions of Ukraine, hourly power outages schedules were in effect for industrial and household consumers. Currently, from 11:00 a.m. to 05:00 p.m., the Ukrenergo control center has canceled consumption restrictions in all regions. This became possible thanks to reduction of cloudiness in all regions. Industrial and rooftop solar power plants have increased production volumes, accordingly, the deficit in the power system has decreased," the report said.
Also, the Ukrainian power system, at the request of the power system operator of Poland, is now accepting surplus electricity from this country.
In the evening, hourly power outages schedules will be in effect in all regions of Ukraine for industrial and household consumers from 5:00 p.m. to 12:00 a.m.
"On May 20, in order to overcome the deficit in the power system, at the request of Ukrenergo, the emergency supply of electricity to Ukraine was activated from 00:00 to 07:00 a.m. and from 11:00 p.m. to 12:00 a.m. from the power systems of Romania, Poland, and Slovakia. Tonight, from 00:00 to 07:00 a.m., emergency aid from European countries was also used," the message reads.
During the day, it is planned to import electricity from Romania, Slovakia, Poland, Hungary, and Moldova with a total volume of 18,242 MWh, with the maximum capacity in individual hours up to 1,497 MW.
As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, on the night and morning of May 21, Ukraine was supplied with emergency electricity from Romania, Slovakia and Poland.
