Heat breaks records: Ukrainians are asked to limit electricity consumption for 4 hours

Electricity consumption in Ukraine continues to rise due to the hot weather. Air conditioners are running at full capacity, which has already led to a 3.1% increase in figures compared to the previous day.

According to Ukrenergo data, consumption reached a daily maximum yesterday. Despite this, cloudy weather in some regions has reduced the efficiency of solar power plants, which also affected the increase in electricity consumption.

According to hvylya.net: The rise in electricity consumption in Ukraine is linked to the increased use of air conditioners due to the hot weather. At the same time, cloudy weather reduces the efficiency of solar power plants, leading to an overall increase in electricity consumption.

A brief news article on the rise in electricity consumption due to hot weather indicates that the population is actively using air conditioners in high temperatures. Another important reason for the increased consumption is the reduced productivity of solar power plants due to cloudy weather.
