Details: The overall volume of emergency supplies was less than 3% of daily electrical use, according to the report.

On Sunday 12 May, Ukraine requested an emergency supply of electricity from Poland, Romania, and Slovakia, which has been carried out.

Ukraine will on Sunday also provide emergency assistance at Poland’s request and receive surplus electricity from that country's energy system.

Given the considerable damage to the power grid, the Ukrainian Ministry of Energy recommends that users restrict their use of energy-intensive equipment during peak hours (particularly from 17:00 to 22:00).

The industry should assess manufacturing procedures to lessen the stress on the power system while also using imports as much as possible to avoid interruptions and strengthen the power system's reliability.
