According to Galushchenko, the generation fully meets the needs of electricity users in all areas.

Earlier, on March 13, Focus figured out whether electricity tariffs for citizens would be increased to support the energy sector. According to expert Maxima Bilyavsky, during the full-scale war, the demand for electricity in Ukraine fell by about 35%, and the largest share in the structure of consumption began to belong to households to which electricity was sold at a reduced price.
