“According to the results of the review, we found an opportunity to release no less than 800 MW of electric power. This will have the effect of reducing the duration of blackout schedules for people and industry,” she said.
The head of the government noted that two categories were removed from the lists: consumers with a capacity of less than 100 kilowatts, and objects to which a number of other consumers were connected, which are subject to general restrictions in order to ensure the fairness of the distribution of electric energy.
“Determined during the review of the lists of critical important objects, the consumers of the accompanying load, which are not critical, will be transferred to the schedules of disconnections according to the general order. We remind you that this review does not apply to support hospitals, life support facilities, and enterprises of the defense-industrial complex,” Svyridenko clarified.
