Ukraine Energy
I am concerned about how extreme weather is affecting Ukraine, especially the energy sector. With the recent heat waves and ongoing conflict, the situation seems dire. How exactly do heat waves affect energy facilities and electricity consumption in Ukraine?
A heat wave affects equipment such as transformers, causing power failures and outages, and also increases the demand for electricity due to cooling systems. This significantly increases the strain on an already strained infrastructure. There are several detailed analyses that delve into these issues.
