Furthermore, the company advised limiting the use of high-power electrical devices during the evening peak hours from 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM. This strategy aims to ensure stable electricity availability throughout the day.

The assurance of no outages on May 4 represents a moment of relief, even as tensions remain high in various regions of the country. Continued monitoring of energy consumption and proactive management by Ukrenergo will be critical as the situation evolves in Ukraine’s energy landscape.

Residents are encouraged to remain vigilant and adhere to the company's guidance as the conflict progresses.
