How is available electricity distributed among all consumers of the Kyiv region, – DTEK Kyiv Regional Grids explains

The available volume of electricity, provided by NPC Ukrenergo, is distributed among absolutely all consumers of the region. These are household consumers, enterprises and various businesses, critical infrastructure facilities. DTEK Kyiv Regional Grids energy workers make every effort to evenly provide electricity from the available volume to all customers and, at the same time, implement command of “Ukrenergo” to reduce level of electricity consumption – this is critical for avoiding massive emergencies in the energy system due to the imbalance of electricity production and consumption.

Nearly 25% of all available electricity goes to the needs of the critical infrastructure, which cannot be limited under any circumstances. These are hospitals, pump stations, boiler houses, enterprises that work for the defense complex of the country. Their list is approved by local authorities. The company distributes the other 75% among households (multi-apartment and private houses), business, social institutions and the industry. For instance, population consumes an average of 37% of the overall volume of electricity.

DTEK Kyiv Regional Grids fairly distributes available volume of electricity consumption among customers and makes a schedule that ensures provision of electricity to everyone in turn. The only exception is consumers connected to critical facilities.

Let us remind that all up-to-date information about outages and schedules is available in the company’s Viber and Telegram chatbot and on our website in the "No electricity" section.
