According to Galushchenko, the measurements were carried out to check how consumption has changed due to the movement of the population and enterprises, in order to set the correct limits.
In particular, the minister gave an answer to a question about a possible increase in electricity tariffs. Galushchenko noted that it is too early to talk about this, because you need to wait for the end of the heating season.

We have the appropriate reserves and plan to continue to support our energy system in such a way that people do not feel supply restrictions,” — noted German Galushchenko.
