Electricity Consumption Trends in Ukraine

As of the morning of April 21, electricity consumption in Ukraine has decreased by 12.6% compared to the previous working day, April 18.

NEK "Ukrenergo" reported on social media that electricity consumption continues to decline in Ukraine, as stated by Ukrinform.

"Today, April 21, at 9:30, the level of electricity consumption was 12.6% lower than the previous working day – Friday. The reason is the non-working day declared by certain employers," the agency quotes.

Additionally, sunny and warm weather across Ukraine contributes to reduced electricity consumption from the grid.

Ukrenergo advises shifting active energy usage to the hours when solar power stations operate most efficiently, specifically from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM.

It's worth reminding that a week ago, on April 15, the heating season for 2024/2025 officially ended in Ukraine.

Heat supply was halted in all regions, but several social institutions – hospitals, kindergartens, and schools – will continue to receive heating under certain temperature conditions.

How many times did the Russian Federation attack Ukraine's energy system during the heating season?

Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal announced the successful completion of the third heating season amid full-scale war, despite numerous Russian attacks on the country's energy system.

According to him, during the heating season of 2024/2025, Russia carried out 9 massive and dozens of smaller attacks on the Ukrainian energy system.

"Despite all this, we stood firm. Homes of millions of Ukrainians, schools, and hospitals had light and heat. Our enterprises also operated without significant restrictions," the Prime Minister stated.
