Despite constant missile attacks and drone attacks carried out by the Russian occupiers, the Ukrainian power system survived the winter without blackouts. Although power facilities were hit, they did not cause large-scale disruptions to the network, as was the case last year.
According to Ukrenergo, the energy system is currently operating stably, and no shortage of electricity is forecast. The electricity produced by power plants of all types is sufficient to ensure the energy supply of all legal and household consumers. The total carrying capacity of high-voltage networks of “Ukrenergo” is sufficient to cover the existing demand.
The market is experiencing typical fluctuations caused by changes in the weather. For example, in cloudy weather, energy consumption for lighting increases, and electricity production by solar power plants decreases.
