The DTEK Odesa Electric Power Company complains that almost no electricity remains available.

NEC “Ukrenergo” significantly reduced electricity consumption limits for the population of Odesa region.

This is reported by the company “DTEK Odesa Electric Power Networks”. It is noted that the latest attack by the Russian Federation on critical infrastructure facilities on January 14 caused an increase in the electricity deficit in Ukraine.

“Because of this, NEC “Ukrenergo” reduced the amount of electricity that can be used by the Odesa region – the limit of electricity consumption. As of January 17, “Ukrenergo” was given a limit on electricity consumption for the daytime – almost 660 MW. The indicated amount is half of the normal energy consumption of the region.” , the message says.

It is noted that at the same time, networks with critical infrastructure, to which blackouts are not applied, are almost half of all available electricity.

“Only 53% remains for the population and industry. At night, the limit is even lower – about 30% of the electricity demand under normal conditions. At the same time, the lion’s share is consumed by critical infrastructure,” the company explained.

Under such conditions, it is not possible to meet the schedules, because there is not enough available power to provide light to consumers during the hours guaranteed by the schedule. Therefore, emergency shutdowns continue to operate in the region.

They promise to return to the schedules only when the shortage of electricity in Ukraine decreases and NEC “Ukrenergo” will be able to provide large consumption limits for the Odesa region.

Reduction of electricity limits

Due to the massive missile attack on January 14, Ukraine reduced electricity consumption limits.

On January 15, “Ukrenergo” warned that it had reduced electricity consumption limits throughout Ukraine, so citizens will have to sit without electricity for longer.
