It is noted that over the past 24 hours, at low temperature conditions, the energy system of Kyrgyzstan has been operating normally, but at the limit of its capabilities.
The daily consumption of electricity in the republic, with a plan of 60.7 million kilowatt-hours, in fact amounted to 70.9 million kilowatt-hours.
Excessive consumption is estimated at 10.2 million kilowatt-hours. Last year, for the same period, electricity consumption reached 59.7 million kilowatt-hours.
Power engineers once again urge Kyrgyzstanis to take the situation with understanding and save electrical energy.
«In order to avoid emergency situations, please do not use energy-intensive electrical appliances during the evening (from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.) and morning (from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m.) maximum loads and use alternative sources of heating (gas, coal),» the statement says.

The heads of energy companies were instructed to intensify work on the reliable operation of electric power equipment and take comprehensive measures to prevent possible restrictions on consumers.
