Measures regarding the level of safety in the operation of the national energy system were analyzed and will be approved in the next meeting, and the objectives of the winter program are the evaluation of the electricity consumption between 1 November 2023 and 31 March 2024, to ensure it at parameters of quality and safety in supply, under the conditions of safe and stable operation of the national energy system.
