No electricity deficit, renewable energy generation was limited to balance the power system

POWER GENERATION

No electricity deficit has been recorded and is not expected for the current day.

Yesterday in the morning, to balance the power in the energy system, the generation from renewable energy sources was reduced.

The electricity generated in Ukraine is sufficient to meet the needs of consumers.

A CHPP unit was put out for emergency repairs, and 4 thermal generation units came back online from short-term emergency repairs. There are 2 TPP units in reserve that will be used if necessary.

The situation is under control. No blackout schedules are applied.

CONSEQUENCES OF SHELLING

As a result of massive shelling on 2 January, high-voltage lines and substations in Kyiv region were cut off, and there were temporary disruptions in the operation of hydroelectric power plants. As a result, households in Kyiv and the region were cut off from electricity, but all of them have been reconnected.

In Mykolaiv region, an explosion near a substation disconnected a 150 kV overhead line, which cut off power to household consumers, all of whom were quickly reconnected. At the same time, the output of 6 wind farms was reduced, and the stations resumed operation in the evening.

During the artillery shelling of a 110 kV overhead line in Donetsk region, a TPP unit was disconnected, and household consumers lost power. Within an hour, all customers were reconnected using backup power.
