According to the authorities, the electricity consumption for the right bank of the Dniester River will be fully covered today, January 21, according to the information of the Government Crisis Cell. Consumption is expected to be about 3% higher than on the previous day.

The activation of breakdown contracts and/or unintended flows is not necessary.
In total, during January 1-20, Energocom purchased 280 thousand MWh at the weighted average price of about 126.75 EUR/MWh.
