The Cabinet of Ministers is looking for ways to redistribute electricity for the benefit of the population.
The government has decided to reduce blackouts for people / photo pxhere.comThe government has adopted a number of decisions to improve the situation with providing light for people. Some consumers will be disconnected from critical infrastructure.
As Prime Minister Yuliya Svyridenko reported, constant Russian shelling damaged generation facilities, networks and transmission systems and led to a difficult situation in the energy system.
“The regional military administrations were instructed to review the actual lists of critical infrastructure facilities within two days,” Svyridenko noted.
At the same time, shutdowns will not apply to hospitals, schools, life support facilities and enterprises of the defense-industrial complex. Electricity supply to these facilities remains uninterrupted.
According to her, consumers who are not of critical importance for the functioning of the regions in today’s energy supply conditions should be excluded from the lists. The released volumes of electrical energy will be directed to household consumers.
The government also tasked the regional military administrations (OMA), local self-government bodies and relevant utilities to reduce electricity consumption.
Additional lighting of buildings and streets, parks, decorative garlands, street advertising in city centers are not a priority during a difficult energy situation.
“Streets and highways with increased emergency conditions must remain lit even in conditions of saving electricity. Their list should be determined by the Ministry of Internal Affairs together with the National Police,” Svyridenko said.
The Ministry of Energy and the Ministry of Development, the State Inspectorate of Energy Supervision and all OVAs must ensure the full functioning of distributed generation facilities — gas piston and gas turbine plants, in particular cogeneration, diesel, gasoline and gas generators.
All technical problems that prevent the transmission of electricity to the network must be eliminated promptly.
In addition, the government allowed the import of electricity to state-owned companies and companies with a state-owned share of 50% or more. This should reduce the load on the energy system of Ukraine and stabilize the load during peak hours.
