Despite frequent shelling from the terrorist state, Ukrainian energy workers are tirelessly striving to illuminate citizens' homes. However, the system sometimes struggles to cope with the demand, leading to emergency power outages. By cutting back on consumption, we assist power-generating enterprises in distributing electricity without constraints.

The Charity Fund "Direct Inclusion" urges Ukrainians to use electricity sparingly and has devised several guidelines to aid this endeavor.

First and foremost, it's important to note that the periods between 7:00 to 11:00 and 18:00 to 23:00 are peak load hours on the infrastructure. Most individuals are either getting ready to work or engaged in household activities during these times, so minimizing electricity usage is advisable.

  • Avoid running multiple electrical appliances simultaneously. For instance, iron clothes before using the microwave.
  • Refrain from turning on lights when natural light is sufficient.
  • Schedule laundry and boiler heating for non-peak hours.
  • Opt for energy-efficient lighting with bulbs not exceeding 10 W.

    • To prepare for potential outages, ensure you have water and non-perishable food items. Consider purchasing a thermos, batteries, and a power bank for mobile devices.
