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

NEC “Ukrenergo” reported on social media that the trend of decreasing electricity consumption continues, according to Ukrinform.

“Today, April 21, at 9:30, the level of electricity consumption was 12.6% lower than on the previous working day. This is due to a non-working day declared by certain employers,” the agency quotes.

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

Ukrenergo recommends shifting active energy consumption to the period of maximum efficiency of solar power plants, using high-powered appliances from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM.

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

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

How many times has the Russian Federation attacked Ukraine's energy system during the heating season?

Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal announced the successful completion of the third heating season amid the war, despite numerous Russian attacks on the energy infrastructure.

According to him, during the 2024/2025 heating season, Russia conducted 9 large-scale and many smaller attacks against the Ukrainian energy system.

“Despite all this, we stood firm. In the homes of millions of Ukrainians, in schools and hospitals, there was light and heat. Our enterprises also operated without significant restrictions,” the Prime Minister stated.
