As noted in the state-owned company's statement, this shortfall is due to the fact that the transmission capacity allocated to the Ukraine–Moldova and Romania–Moldova for intraday trading proved insufficient to fully meet commercial demand during the specified hours. As a result, the volume of unmet demand will amount to: 4 MWh between 17:00 and 18:00, 59 MWh from 18:00 to 19:00, 111 MWh from 19:00 to 20:00, and 55 MWh from 20:00 to 21:00. The total projected deficit for the period from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. will be 229 MWh. Sufficient capacity is available for the remainder of the day to meet electricity demand. In light of this, Energocom urges citizens to use electricity responsibly, especially during peak hours (from 6:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m.), postpone the use of energy-intensive household appliances whenever possible, and avoid wasting energy. // 22.09.2026 — InfoMarket.
