POWER: Ukraine Limits Power Supply to Companies Amid Cold Weather Strain
POWER
Ukraine has implemented temporary electricity supply restrictions for companies on 10 February, as cold weather drives up demand, putting pressure on the nation's power grid, operator UKrenergo said on Telegram, cited by Bloomberg.
- The 15-hour limits, which began at 6 a.m., will not affect households, as Ukraine's energy system continues to recover from prior damage caused by Russian missile and drone attacks.
- Average temperatures in Ukraine are anticipated to reach -6.16C on 10 February, with minimum temperatures at around -8C on the day, according to ECMWF forecasts.
- This is below the 30-year norm of around -2C.
- Further out, average temps in Ukraine are seen reaching as low as around -8C over 16-19 February- which could lead to consumption limits again.
