KESCO has urged citizens to save electricity as consumption has reached very high levels, putting the power system under continuous strain.
The company highlighted that the increased load is largely due to electric heating:
“Electric heating, in particular, is putting significant pressure on the system. It is recommended to heat only occupied spaces, keeping the temperature at the optimal level of 20–21°C.”
Full statement highlights:
- Citizens are asked for energy saving and cooperation to ensure the stability of electricity supply and the proper functioning of important state processes, including the electoral process.
- Recent load increases are mainly due to high electric heating consumption.
- KESCO is operating with increased capacity, especially in the Call Center, to respond to customer inquiries. During large-scale outages, response times may be delayed, and understanding from consumers is requested.
- The company maintains continuous communication with network and transmission operators to provide transparent updates on system conditions.
Recommended actions for citizens:
- Save electricity wherever possible.
- Avoid simultaneous use of high-consumption appliances.
- Use electric heating moderately, focusing on occupied spaces and keeping temperatures at 20–21°C.
KESCO emphasizes that small actions by each consumer can have a significant impact, directly contributing to the stabilization of electricity supply.
