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.
