According to it, starting from November 1 of this year, based on the minimum power of the devices needed for their needs (and their location), a limitation of 10-15 kW power will be introduced through the meter.

It should be noted that such a measure is used out of necessity in order to ensure that consumers are not cut off from electricity supply for a long time in certain areas where there are old and overloaded power networks and transformer points. That is, this year, it is carried out only in situations such as unfavorable weather conditions observed in the winter and summer months in order to prevent excessive loads on the electric grid.
