Almost 8% higher electricity consumption during the New Year holidays compared to last year registered the specialists of ENERGO-PRO

Nearly 8% more electricity was consumed by ENERGO-PRO customers during the period 31 December - 4 January compared to the same days a year earlier. This is shown by the data of the company, which supplies electricity to 1.1 million consumers in the districts of Varna, Veliko Tarnovo, Gabrovo, Ruse, Silistra, Dobrich, Razgrad, Targovishte and Shumen. During the five weekends around the New Year, the total amount of electricity consumed by ENERGO-PRO customers was just over 106 thousand megawatt hours. On the same days a year ago, about 98 thousand megawatt hours were consumed. Expected, the consumption was the highest in the last day of 2014, when a consumption of nearly 23 thousand megawatt hours was reported.

According to ENERGO-PRO specialists, the increased electricity consumption for the period 31 December - 4 January is due to the lower temperatures during the past holidays, compared to the same period a year ago. We recall that due to the warm weather during the Christmas holidays, there was a nearly 10% drop in electricity consumption compared to the same days in 2013. Then, for the five weekends around Christmas, the total amount of electricity consumed by ENERGO-PRO customers was about 82 thousand megawatt hours. In the same days of 2013, about 90,000 megawatt hours were consumed.

During the Christmas and New Year holidays, 70 emergency teams of ENERGO-PRO were on full alert and quickly eliminated all faults that occurred to electrical facilities in the districts of Varna, Dobrich, Silistra, Shumen, Targovishte, Veliko Tarnovo, Gabrovo, Ruse and Razgrad. The company's accountants also worked during the holidays and reported the consumed electricity according to the usual schedule, strictly observing the reporting period within 31 days, according to the General Conditions for access and transmission of electric energy through the electricity distribution network of ENERGO-PRO Grids AD.
