She appealed to Ukrainians to help Ukraine's energy system get through the extremely difficult times when Russia is attacking the energy sector systematically and brutally.
Ms. Boyko posted the appeal to her fellow citizens on her Facebook page.
The expert assured that changing behavioral habits in the daily consumption of each of us is a great resource of support for the energy system. That is, every Ukrainian can help it survive.
"We constantly attract electricity in the form of an "emergency" from neighboring states, we use imports, we try to restore everything as quickly as possible... and every time we get closer to the news about restrictions in the supply of electricity," Nataliya Boyko says about the real state of affairs.
She emphasizes that by helping the energy industry, each Ukrainian helps himself.
"Conscious, frugal consumption of everyone directly affects the ability of energy companies to maintain a situation "without blackouts" or at least minimize their duration," says the expert.
Natalia Boyko offers 8 simple rules based on her own experience:
- Replace all the light bulbs at home with energy-efficient ones, as well as the maximum appliances.
- Do not turn on the oven and other powerful electrical appliances during peak hours.
- Set the timer for washing at 3-4 in the morning.
- Rarely use a hair dryer.
- Do not turn on the air conditioner.
- Adjust the heating period of the boiler.
- Spend more time in the fresh air in your free time in the evenings or on weekends.
- Enjoy tea or coffee in the sunny lunchtime, when the solar power plants are working.
As EcoPolitic reported at the end of March, there was no need to use blackout schedules in Odesa thanks to green energy.
