In Mykolaiv, they plan to save electricity by stopping the lighting of the surrounding areas and buildings of executive bodies, as well as by reducing the lighting on the streets and in parks.

The relevant order was signed by the first deputy mayor Vitalii Lukov and published on the website of the Mykolaiv Council, NikVesti writes.

The main measures include stopping the use of air conditioners and outdoor lighting in buildings and areas of communal facilities.

In addition, the street network and parks will be illuminated to a limited extent until the end of the year. Also, the city authorities recommended to entrepreneurs who place outdoor advertising in the city to limit lighting until the end of the current year.

Energy saving measures do not apply to energy produced by generators for own needs. Also, they will not affect health care, education, administrative service centers and utility companies, where air conditioning is an important part of the technological process.

Earlier, Mykolaiv City Mayor Oleksandr Sienkevych reported that in order to save electricity, the city government is forced to partially turn off lighting in the evening during peak hours. This allows you to reduce the load on the power grid and reduce energy consumption.

In addition, the Mykolayiv RMA urged enterprises to stop using electricity for outdoor advertising.
