As of the morning of September 29, electricity consumption in Ukraine is 10.3% higher than the level of the previous working day - September 26.

As reported by thePublic.info, this was announced by NEC "Ukrenergo" on Facebook.

"Electricity consumption has increased. Today, September 29, at 9:30 AM, it was 10.3% higher than at the same time on the previous working day – Friday. The reason for such noticeable changes is the cloudy weather almost across the entire territory of Ukraine," - the message states.

It is noted that changing weather conditions cause low efficiency of household solar power plants and a corresponding increase in energy consumption from the general grid.

On Sunday, September 28, the daily maximum consumption was 3.1% higher than the maximum of the previous week – September 21.
