KYIV, Nov 29 – By now, electricity generation in the country covers 70% of needs, Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal has said.

"Despite the constant shelling of our energy system, it remains integrated. All regions of Ukraine are powered, except for Kherson region. Currently, electricity generation in the country covers 70% of consumption needs, and 30% is a deficit, corrected by consumption restrictions," he said at a government meeting on Tuesday.

According to the prime minister, work is now proceeding as follows: Ukrenergo brings to the regional energy companies the volumes of consumption that can be supplied from power plants to a particular region, and then the regional energy companies determine who will be turned off in order to comply with the established limits.
