As of December 15, the electricity consumption in Ukraine is still at a high level.
Yesterday, December 14, despite the stable temperature, the electricity consumption increased. The daily maximum was in the morning and was 2.4% higher than the corresponding indicator on December 13.
The increase in consumption creates an additional load on the power system. Therefore, Ukrenergo urges to continue consuming electricity sparingly.
Solar power plants produce almost no electricity due to cloudy weather. In addition, several power units at thermal plants are under repair.
However, the company is not going to introduce planned outages.

Amendments to Ukraine’s enforcement proceedings legislation, initiated by the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine, have entered into force. Among other measures, the reform provides for the automated lifting of attachments on bank accounts immediately after debts in enforcement proceedings have been fully settled. The main practical benefit for citizens is the complete elimination of the need to contact an enforcement officer in person and wait for paper decisions once the debt has been paid.

In my previous column, I wrote about social innovations in Ukraine. Those innovations are part of civic resilience and the democratization of security, which Europe is paying close attention to right now. The EU is trying to work out how to spread responsibility for its own security across society as a whole, rather than leaving it to institutions alone. It is looking for concrete ways to bring ordinary people into the work of defense and resistance.
