In total, 225.6 million kWh of electricity was supplied to consumers across the republic. 151.6 million cubic meters of natural gas were consumed. However, the volume of electricity produced in Uzbekistan and imported from Turkmenistan is not enough to meet demand, which is why restrictions on the supply of electricity to 400 MW were introduced on Sunday during peak hours, the Ministry of Energy said. According to the department, this is due to an accident due to strong winds on a power line in the Bukhara region.
