For the third time since the beginning of December, Ukraine had to turn to Romania and Poland for emergency help due to a failure in the energy system, reports “Ukrenergo” in Telegram. Ukrainian Pravda.

The power of the involved means is 300 MW. Previously, Ukrenergo needed help on December 7 and 8. The main reason for the shortage is the need for generating capacity.

“One electrical unit at the CHP went into emergency repair, the other one went into scheduled repair during the day. “Several blocks are being restored in the front-line zone after artillery fire and in other regions after massive rocket fire last winter,” Ukrenergo notes.

The deficit is also affected by the high level of electricity consumption despite heating and the day off. Ukrenergo urges citizens to consume electricity carefully.

On December 7, electricity consumption in Ukraine set a record since the start of the heating season, so emergency aid had to be called in from Romania and Poland.

On November 23, energy operator Ukrenergo announced that the Ukrainian electricity grid was in a “difficult” situation and appealed to Romania, Slovakia and Poland for emergency supplies due to rising consumption due to falling temperatures.
